I am sure you are wondering what in the world these two things have in common? Well, for the Getzinger family a whole lot. This summer John and I were lucky enough to be able to put items into the shipment of a new teaching family here at ISR. Well, we expected it to arrive in September but it has been delayed at least ten times. Here is where the need for a miracle comes in.
Inside of that shipment is Christmas gifts for 200 needy kids. And it's not like I can just run to Target and pick up replacement gifts. The shipment is scheduled to arrive in Singapore on November 15th. That gives it four weeks to get through customs in both Singapore and Indonesia. Sounds like plenty of time but with the corruption in Indonesia it is very possible that it could be held up. It is not uncommon for companies and government agencies to ask for a "donation," or just to take their own sweet time doing things. Our school has a no tolerance policy when it comes to giving "donations" for shipment delivery.
The teacher family will be leaving for Christmas break on December 15th and if the shipment arrives after that date they will not deliver it because they have to be present during the delivery. So please pray that God would allow the shipment to arrive in record speed. We need a "Christmas Miracle". Thanks for praying for us.
