Opening international doors
Paul mentions in 1 Corinthians 16:9 ‘ the great and effective door that opened to him ’. God continues to open great and effective doors for us internationally , through our family of volunteers and international partners . We have Wheels Distribution and Church inclusion training events planned with our international partners right through to the middle of 2024 . Although very little wheelchair refurbishment has been done since 2017 by prison inmates , our volunteers at the Aldershot warehouse are managing to keep up with the demand , and from those who are fitting wheelchairs have told us that the refurbishment is of a very high standard .
In the same verse , Paul also mentions that Volunteer to use your skills on our upcoming international trips
‘ there are many adversaries ’ – for example , many barriers have appeared on the international front since 2020 , including visa and shipping protocols , and escalating shipping and flight costs . Please continue to support us and pray for God to overcome these barriers as we continue to serve the most marginalised in the developing countries where God has opened the door for us .
