Office Furniture

I received a phone call from Marilu Hernandez of Channel 32 in Tampa on Monday stating that the TV station was updating some office furniture and wanted to know if I could use seven office desks and four office chairs. I told her “of course,” called Vance Street to bring his 32 foot horse trailer, we loaded the desks, and headed for the warehouse. The great news is that Channel 32 is less than one mile from the warehouse. The Truck Stop Ministry of the Penn Florida Men's Ministry has already claimed one desk and one chair plus a four-drawer file. They are building a permanent chapel at the T/A truck stop at exit 10 in Tampa. Glory! Glad we could all be involved. Thank you Marilu and Channel 32.

All the desks are gone

It is hard to believe, but all 400 desks from Georgia are now gone as of today. The last of the desks were put in a container headed for The Gambia, Africa today. Glory! So that means that the warehouse is almost empty now. It looks so strange. No desks, no computers, only a few laser printers, a few computer desks, and odds and ends. I am in contact with two other school districts in Georgia and one in Florida to see if we can get more computers and desks. There are a lot of people on the waiting list.

I need computers

I just received a request for 200 computers for an Indian Reservation. Help. Would you contact companies near you an see if they could donate computers. I have several school districts I am working with right now as well. This thing is BIG. I need your help as well. Call people.

A Learning Week

Who says “You can’t teach an old dog new tricks?” That is totally an untruth. Vance Street and I proved that proverb wrong last week. Vance is the 72 year old man who drives the 32 foot horse trailer and helps me get computers and desks. The two of us worked every day this past week repairing computers. There were about 120 computers of the 400 that would not work. Many of them simply “beeped” when they were turned on. So I went online, typed in “Repairing Computers” and discovered that when a computer “beeps,” it is sending you a signal of what is wrong with it. It was that simple. Vance and I repaired over fifty (50) computers this past week plus got an order ready for missionaries in the Bahamas for 62 computers, 62 printers, and 50 desks. Glory!
