Saturday, January 3 eleven members of the mission team gathered at Wyatt Park Christian church to pack the extra suitcases with supplies and gifts donated for the staff and children at Good Shepherd mission. The supplies were sorted, packed, weighed, re-packed and re-arranged to meet the 50 pound weight limit required by the airline. The 11 team members made short work of the packing - only Sirish was unable to be there as he and his family were out of town.
The guys weighed the bags. Team leader Dean was very pleased to see 12 full bags that will carry much needed items to the Good Shepherd Mission and hospital. Grace Evangelical donated many of the items for the children. Others gave medical supplies and t-shirts for all staff and children. The funds raised will go directly to the medical camps in the rural villages surrounding Puttur.
