AFRICAN TRACTS

Dear Ryan,

Recent shipments to several African countries have begun arriving. Africa in particular has been plagued with corruption in government agencies and our shipments have at times been “held ransom” for unreasonable customs, processing, or other charges. Please be in prayer especially for these African shipments over the next few weeks:

Burundi – 2,610 boxes (1,258,200 Scripture portions)

Cameroon – 2,570 boxes (907,770 Scripture portions)

Central African Republic – 4,140 boxes (1,674,170 Scripture portions)

Burkina Faso – 560 boxes (203,500 Scripture portions)

Benin – 1,428 boxes (567,730 Scripture portions)

Ivory Coast – 4,215 boxes (1,452,875 Scripture portions, plus 28,000 French New Testaments)

Democratic Republic of the Congo – 4,204 boxes (1,709,441 Scripture portions)

Zambia – 4,216 boxes (1,958,430 Scripture portions)

Uganda – 4,213 boxes (1,643,795 Scripture portions)

Liberia/Guinea – 4,199 boxes (1,742,600 Scripture portions)

South Africa – 4,216 boxes (2,079,975 Scripture portions)

Of special note –

1) The Cameroon shipment is at the port, and our coordinator is doing battle with the shipping agency and government officials there; for this shipment, we have an agreement through our U.S. shipping agent for fixed clearing and onforwarding costs; the agency in Cameroon is not happy that they are being held to this agreement; please pray for Brother Aloma (our coordinator).

2) The DR Congo shipment is about to arrive; our last experience with sending to DRC was VERY EXPENSIVE because of (what I believe to be) corruption charges; our coordinator there Brother Sita is arming up with documentation, funds, and experience – to hopefully make the reception of the container go more smoothly this time.

3) The Burundi shipment seems to be stalled; our coordinator Brother Evariste has recently been recovering from malaria; he assures me that everything is proceeding smoothly, the container is enroute to Bujumbura, but I have not heard back from him in the past week.

4) The rest of the above shipments are also subject to whims of officials, dangers on the road, etc.

Thanks for praying! And thank you for your interest in the ongoing ministry of World Missionary Press.
