The 40' Shipping Container to Malawi

When our Missionaries left for Africa last September, we were prepared to send a 40' shipping container to Malawi containing all of their personal items as well as thousands of clothing items, school supplies, food, etc. But inexplicably, the Lord closed the door. 

  We tried for several months to just get a quote, and never could get one to ship the container. We were so frustrated at not being able to get the container there to this precious family.

  But now, in retrospect, the Lord knew what He was doing. Had we shipped all of those personal items to the Wallace's in Malawi, they would have had no way to get them back home in light of their leaving the mission field. 

  Now it appears that the Lord wanted it instead filled with school supplies that Maribeth and her team will need to start and operate the school in the orphanage.
