The value of the shipment was $132,965.00.
Tractor Update
This week, Ramon Ortiz, Operations Manager, drove to Iowa and picked up the tractor for Honduras. The tractor is officially on the Midwest Mission campus! Now, Brad Walton, Director of Operations, can get the final specs needed to schedule a shipping date.
We can't WAIT for it to be delivered to the Agriculture School. Please continue praying that the paperwork will go smoothly, and that the container does not get delayed (which is common in the shipping industry). Pray that the tractor will arrive in Honduras before our Mission Team travels there the first week of March.
