Using Sea Containers to Reach the World
Richard Renfro, Board of Trustees vice-president
Mission Printing is now utilizing sea containers to save over $100,000 per shipment, and we are still continuing to fulfill individual requests for study tracts to countries all over the world. The cost of shipping via container is about $7,500–$13,000 versus $100,000–$125,000 via U.S. Mail. That is an average savings of over $100,000! The savings are potentially greater depending on the destination country. The cost of shipping via container is $.30 per lb. versus $3.00 per lb. via U.S. mail.
A single container can hold 600,000 to 1,000,000 tracts. We utilize volunteers to help load our containers. We have over 200 volunteers who print, fold, collate, staple, trim, and do a hundred other jobs. There are 10 congregations who have workstations at their buildings. They pick up boxes of folded tracts and take them to their buildings for collating and stapling. The congregations then return the material for trimming and packing for shipment. We depend on our director, Vendall Dollarhide, and our office manager, Mary Carroll, to see that everything is coordinated and scheduled for best results. Vendall would be more than happy to come to your congregation and share more with you about the efforts of Mission Printing and “World Evangelism by the Printed Page.”
We sent over 30,000 pounds of tracts to Ghana at the end of last year. We are preparing another 30,000 pound shipment for Ghana that will depart in a few weeks. Brother Willie Gley, a minister of the gospel in Accra, Ghana, volunteered to manage the distribution of tracts throughout West Africa. Brother Gley does a tremendous work for the Lord. He coordinates various activities and distributes the Mission Printing studies to congregations in several countries. Willie's home congregation of 1,000+ members helps him canvass Accra, a city of 2,000,000 souls, with the
gospel of Christ by means of our tracts. From April to June, they distributed over 50,000 tracts. A means of making people aware of God's words was to enter a “tract distribution float” in the city's celebration. It was very effective. They gave many to their own neighbors during a “Friends Day” at the congregation's building. Four more events are planned this year to continue spreading the printed word of God. Most of the 100 congregations in Accra have access to our tracts for distribution. We send Brother Gley's email address and phone number to those in West Africa requesting our study material. He sees that they receive what they need for their work.
Our first shipment to Nigeria of 40,000 pounds of tracts, sent in June, is being distributed at the present time. Brother Monday John Akpakpan of Abak, Nigeria, is our volunteer manager for the distribution of the material throughout southern Nigeria. Monday John has thousands of contacts for the Lord in Nigeria. Brother Akpakpan worked very hard to conplete all the requirements of the government “red tape” to receive our container. He is utilizing brethren to help distribute the material to various congregations and preaching schools. Reuben Egwu of the New Christian Missionary School in Abakaliki, north of Abak, will also participate in the distribution of tracts in his area. We send Brother Akpakpan's email address and phone number to those in Nigeria who request our tracts. He sees that they receive what they need for their work.
God has blessed Mission Printing with the capability of sending many shipments of tracts each year. However, we will need your help. In order for this ministry to continue, we need financial assiatance and volunteer congregations to take on workstations. Please join Mission Printing in evanglizing the world by the printed page.

Mission Printing has been blessed once again this summer with young people willing to serve. I am honored to know the young people that labor with Mission Printing. They are a part of the Mission Printing family!
God is at work in the next generation! Never let the world or Satan convince you that the next generation is hopeless and that we should give up on them. The young people involved with Mission
Printing are willing to work, learn from those around them, and fellowship with Christians a "few" years older than themselves.
We were blessed with even more willing workers than in previous years. If you know any of these young people, please give them a hug and an encouraging word. Each of these precious souls is a true asset to the kingdom adn the future of Mission Printing.

Greetings to you from Nhowe, Zimbabwe. I thank you for the four boxes of Bible studies. It was really exciting to receive such gospel material. Thanks to Richard Jones of Cape Town, South Africa, who connected me to Mission Printing.
We need more! In Zimbabwe, we have schools and communities who need such gospel material. If you can afford our request, we will really appreciate more of your Bible studies.
We have church run schools with many students and staff who are non-members who we can reach using your material.
Pass my grettings to all especiall the ones who mailed the material. I love you all!

I wish to thank you for the gospel material and communion cups. They were cleared in just in time. I leave in a few hours to drive to country of Namibia to do mission work. Your gift will come in useful, and I will share the material and Bibles with two congregations. The communion cups will be distributed to about 20 other congregations. God bless you and thank you for your assistance.
When you are able, please send us some more material. The congregations in Cape Town are joining efforts to host a four day lectureship in December, and we are expecting brethren from all over the country and neighborning countries as well.
