Tim has been working diligently to perfectly pack our boxes heading to the container in Florida which eventually (God willing) will be shipped to Niger. There has been a snag recently in the way we ship, as new agents in Niger are now in the customs department and have relinquished the exoneration status of many Non Government Organizations. Not only that, they are also requiring detailed lists with receipts in French of every single item being shipped before the container leaves the United States. There is still a container that was packed last summer with supplies for the flood relief that has not yet been released from American soil. Please pray that the new customs agents will recognize that our efforts are to help their people and to look favorably on the containers we send to Niger. "And my God shall supply (fulfill, make complete) all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:19. Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us, to Him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations for ever and ever! Amen. (Ephesians 3:20)

We wrapped our boxes in plastic wrap (the packing kind) after taping them all up. It really helped keep sticky fingers out, the boxes together, and the humidity out. Nothing was moldy or stolen, and we could tell if anyone opened the boxes or not by the intactness of the plastic wrap. I pray your stuff gets there safely!
