FINALLY!!!

Yeah! Some details on shipping-finally!!!

Our container is scheduled for loading next Wednesday, May 7th.

It looks like it then goes to New York, where it ships overseas on May 23rd. It has an estimated time of arrival in Dar Es Salaam on June 25.

We were told inland from Dar Es Salaam to Lusaka is 10 days. That is if all goes well at the border, roads are good, trucking is readily available, and customs doesn't want to try to open it or have extra questions or anything else.

Then from Lusaka it could take a week to two weeks to get it to the school, depending on the scheduling of the trucking and crane service there.

So, yes, it would take a full-blown miracle of God (and YES!! He can do it!) for the container to be at the Bible School before Brian leaves on July 12th. If we had assurance it would be there by then, there would be a possibility Brian could stay for two more weeks to do some more work alone.

The other possibility then is that Brian will have to go back around the end of September to finish building and getting the house ready for us to go as a family after that.


PLEASE PRAY:
-God would drive this ship across the sea and even allow it to get there early

-Shipping inland from Dar Es Salaam will be readily available when the time comes

-customs will clear quickly without hassle

-crane and trucking will be readily available in Lusaka when that time comes

-funds for shipping and taxes will come in as needed

-Gospelink has a container at the Tanzania border that they are trying to get into Zambia. This container has bibles, tracks, and other items needed for the summer teams that begin arriving in two weeks. Pray it will be cleared and get out to the school before the teams arrive.
