On Friday, July 28, Midwest Mission sent a shipment to the American Indian Christian Mission (AICM) in Show Low, Arizona.
AICM’s mission is to “Evangelize and Equip Native Americans for Christ.” They help Native Americans become aware of God and teach them that through Christ and Christ alone they can be saved. They have three parts to their ministry: the boarding school, outreach to families of students, and their Blue Bus ministry. (To learn more about AICM, go to aicm.org)
This is the third load of supplies Midwest Mission has provided for AICM. During COVID, we sent a semi full of needed medical supplies such as masks as well as items like toilet paper — you probably remember the vast need for toilet paper during this time in your own communities!
We were very excited to send more supplies to this mission-minded organization. As the process for planning the shipment began, the first step was to find out what their needs were. We never want to fill a truck with unneeded supplies that could be used somewhere else, so we are very intentional about exploring specific needs.
When the truck pulled up to Midwest Mission, our operations team quickly loaded the semi-truck with 25,790 lbs of supplies.
This included:
- 3 sewing machines
- 50 mattresses
- 2,800 Rice Meal Bags
- 560 Student Kits
- 600 bath towels — the God moment from last week’s newsletter!
- 458 blankets
- 266 cases of cleaning wipes
- 178 gallons of laundry detergent
- 84 cases of disinfectant wipes
- 700 lbs of cleaning supplies
- 782 lbs of hygiene items
- 4 air conditioners
This shipment was valued at $61,657.32.
On Monday, July 31, the semi truck arrived at AICM in Arizona!
Please be praying for AICM and the people they reach, and that God would bless their ministry and continue to provide the things they need.
