Send Materials to Guyana
Jerry Davidson and Amerindian Missions actively sends important items to Guyana's Christians by container two to three times annually. All items received to its warehouse located at the Summerdale Church of Christ are taken to the international port at Mobile, Ala. and shipped to the port in Georgetown, Guyana. From there, brethren from the Lamaha Gardens Church of Christ, distribute the items among the Christians located in the Amerindian villages.
Many smaller items can be taken in suitcases each trip. But large or bulk items should be sent by container from Mobile. Below is a sample list of items that individuals and churches can gather for the Amerindian churches, or see extended list here.
- Over-the-counter medicine (benedryl, cold medicine, pain reliever, etc.)
- Solar lights, flip flops and shoes, dresses, toys and bears, blankets, rice & flour, glasses, and tools for farmers.
- Bibles, curriculum for every age, communion supplies and other books.
- Any clothing (used and new) for all ages.
- Any kid's meal toys from fast food restaurants
GHM's partnership with Amerindian Mission faciliates and makes it easier to deliver goods to Guyana. However, our geographical has created its own obstacle, but not without remedies. Discussions are taking place to make large shipments to the Amerindian Mission warehouse possible.
Here is a partial list of scenarios that have been considered:
- Rent or purchases a small enclosed trailer and deliver goods as many times as can be filled.
- Deliver goods to a drop-off location in Richmond, Kentucky or Booneville, Miss. Additional locations may be considered.
- Make few deliveries to the warehouse. Rather, sell the items and send a check, which is considerably less to send than delivering a truck or trailer load.
