There is a new mission starting up in Haiti called Ebenezer. This mission is geared to train Haitian pastors in discipleship. There is also a literacy program that will be starting very soon. During the time these men are taking these classes they will be staying in housing that is provided for them. Since I am part of a mission team that is going in a couple of months, we've been asked to look on garage sales for items needed to stock the house. I've gotten quite a few items already but many more are needed. If any of you would be willing to keep your eyes open for & purchase these items it would be much appreciated! Basically all the necessities you can think of that someone would need to run a house is needed. They're looking at housing possibly 40 or more men at a time so items would be needed accordingly. I've been keeping dishes limited to plastic & stackables. I have some silverware but more is needed although I didn't count place settings for those. I'm not sure on the sizes of the beds as they vary and I don't have a count of each size but I'm sure whatever we can get will be used! I have listed below the items I've purchased to this point.
11 sheets
22 pillowcases
20 plates
1 pitcher
80 pcs. silverware
1 bag plasticware
1 sm. bag misc. utensils
22 sm. bowls
4 bowls w/ lids
44 glasses
8 cups
1 wooden fork
1 plastic fork
6 plastic spoons
3 pancake turners
1 lazy susan
4 pans & 2 lids
6 towels (various sizes)
I am keeping track of how much I spend just in case I'd want to use it for tax purposes so you could do this too if you choose. If you have any questions for me, please contact me and I'll be happy to help! :)
Be a blessing!
