Ever since I learned of MedShare, I have been impressed with their great work. MedShare ships medical supplies and equipment all over the world. The supplies are shipped in 40 foot containers. While MedShare donates all the medical supplies, the shipping fees can be as high as $22,000. But, the container can have as much as $500,000 worth of medical equipment.
The costs to get a container seemed out of our reach. But, God says you have not because you ask not. He also says all things are possible for those who believe. So when we were contacted by MedShare to pick-up a container that was at the port in Mombasa we asked God to help us with all that needed to be done to clear the container and get it to Nairobi.
Sammy, Mark, Franko and I have spent 8 days in Mombasa working the process to clear this container. We have learned a lot about shipping! But, as the truck carrying our container declares on the back "God is great" and this 40 foot container is on its way to Nairobi with us traveling ahead of them!
All the Partners for Care staff will meet us at 6 am to help unload the medical supplies. There is equipment for our medical clinic and supplies we will take to Marsabit to help the government hospital there. There are supplies we will use for our medical camps. There is an electric dental chair. So much! Everything will be used as MedShare intends - to serve those in need in Kenya.
God is great...
