Container Sent, Prayers Needed

gary — Mon, 01 Aug 2011 04:22:50 +0000

Well, we did it. The container for Brazil has been loaded and will leave Monday morning. I would like to thank all those involved in the process of purchasing, delivering, boxing and wrapping all the items requested. I would also like to thank all those who have donated so many of the items we needed for this container. We now ask for your prayer support as this container sets out for its final destination. We ask that you pray specifically for everything to pass customs inspections and get delivered to both missionary’s that it was intended for. Thank you again on behalf of Joe and Missionary Resource Network, Gary

The new address for Missionary Resource Network is 11471 W. Sample Rd Suite 11, Coral Springs, FL 33065. Though the store had closed down, the ministry is still running. We are in the process of loading another container being shared by 2 missionaries in Brazil. When this one is done we will be getting supplies for the next container going to Mozambique, Africa. We appreciate your support even through these tough economic times. Thank you all for your prayers and support.

Store Closing

gary — Wed, 04 May 2011 02:49:38 +0000

It is with deep regret that after 9 years we are closing down the Resource Thrift Store. The store was established to be a live warehouse for missionary needs. The proceeds went to help purchase things missionary’s needed that didn’t come in to the store. We’ve loaded as many as 17 containers in one year, and we are in the process of loading one for Brazil to leave at the end of May. We ask for your prayers for Vicki the store manager and myself that God would open new doors for us. We want to thank all of those faithful customers who have, over the years, donated and purchased items enabling us to serve the missionary community around the world. Missionary Resource Network will still be running, just the store has been effected. You can still make donations here on the website. We will update this site with the new address of MRN.

To all our brothers and sisters around the world who serve our risen Savior, the one true and living God. May you be refreshed in Him as you celebrate His victory over sin and death. Happy Easter!!

Getting ready to load another container

gary — Sat, 12 Mar 2011 04:11:46 +0000

We are once again gathering supplies for a missionary. The container is scheduled to leave right after Easter. The last container was loaded and delayed in customs because it needed a seaworthy certificate. After much delay, another container was brought in a reloaded then finally shipped to Haiti. The container that we are loading now is going to Brazil to help Joe and Jill. We are also in need of musical instruments for different missionaries. Joe is looking for an acoustic guitar, a missionary from Haiti has an orphanage for handicapped children is in need of a sound mixer, guitars, speakers and microphones. Some of the needs for Brazil range from simple to complex but all are needs, not wants. Bed sheets for 3 twin beds, 1 full and 1 queen. Also sets of towels and washcloths. The more complex would be for washer and gas dryer as well as lawn equipment and mechanic tools. You may not be able send these items to us, but your support will help us purchase these items at yard sales, craigs list and second hand stores. What we have to purchase new we do through places like Big Lots, Harbor Freight, home depot and walmart. If you would like to help you can either use the donation button on this page, or you can send your donation to Missionary Resource Network, 4000 Bailey Rd. # 103 Fort Lauderdale, FL 33319. For those who desire to help but are unable to financially because of hard times, you can support us and our efforts through your constant prayers. We thank all of you for everything you do as you partner with us in reaching the unreached with the Gospel message. We also ask you to be in prayer for the upcoming Luis Palau Festivals. May you be filled with, and moved by, the Holy Spirit in all you do and say, God Bless. Gary

Out with the old and in with the New

I can’t believe it’s the end of the year, but that just means that it’s the beginning of another one. The containers shipped, people helped, abundance of donations at the thrift store, missionaries served. Wow, we did it again. Not Vicki and i, but you and the ministry. Our prayers are that God is pleased, blessed, magnified and glorified with all our efforts to serve, and with all we have to offer Him in the coming year. Because of you, through your prayers, donations at the store and your financial help, God took it and has multiplied it like the loaves and fishes bringing it all together to accomplish His purpose. That was last year and it was only a glimpse of what is to come. Thank you again for what you’ve done and what you are still doing. It’s because of you and your generosity that we have, and will succeed. God Bless and may you have a blessed and prosperous New Year. Serving Christ until He returns, Gary

Working Together

gary — Tue, 19 Oct 2010 02:05:42 +0000

Since the last time I have updated this site, things have changed. We are still helping with supplies to missionaries, but support is down. We understand that in these times of economical hardship that purse straps need to be tightened. What most people don’t understand about missions is that the missionary gets their support from back here in the states as their visa’s won’t allow them to get jobs abroad. When those that support them start cutting back in this area, the missionary suffers greatly. We here at MRN are in the same boat, we have lost many supporters and are in financial hardship. I don’t like to ask for money when so many are suffering, but if we can’t get our monthly support back up, we may have to close down. We were just asked to help load and ship 3 more containers. Christianity is about working together. When Jesus started His earthly ministry, the first thing He did was chose twelve men to disciple and help with the work. Moses and Aaron, Paul and Timothy. The point is, together we can make it work. Would you prayerfully consider supporting the Missionary Resource Network so we can continue supporting the missionaries? Thank you. “The Lord bless you and keep you; The Lord make His face shine upon you, And be gracious to you; The Lord lift up His countenance upon you, And give you peace.”’ Serving Christ until He returns, Gary

More supplies being sent to missionaries

gary — Sat, 17 Jul 2010 02:24:26 +0000

Hello again everybody, sorry it has been a couple of months since the last update. We have been very busy gathering supplies for missionaries, loading containers as well as running the Resource Thrift Store. We had another container go to Haiti, one being loaded now and a couple hundred pounds of supplies to the Amazon Reach mission. I want to personally thank everybody involved in the gathering, packing, loading and transporting of all the supplies. Not only those here, but to all those who have a hand in unloading and distributing of the goods sent, thank you. God has been continually blessing the Thrift store. More and more, we have been getting in beds and furniture that goes out as fast as we can bring it in. Donations are up and we have volunteers starting to show up to help both in the store as well as doing pick ups and deliveries. Again, Thanks to everyone who makes all this possible. May God bless each and everyone for your cheerful hearts in giving of your time and talents to help us succeed.
