Container #167

Container #167 was scheduled for 9/28 but was pushed back to September 29th. Unfortunately, the driver identified an issue with the manner the container was sitting on the "dolly". This delayed the loading until September 30th.

Not being made aware of when the necessary repairs would the place, we were suddenly surprised the morning of September 30th when the truck showed up at the warehouse. Our team was notified and we began work around 9am, with completion an hour later.

This load required a pickup of 50 sets of mattresses and boxsprings. Upon arrival some mats were unloaded and then used later in the loading process for filler on and around pallets. Contents included mattresses, furniture, shoes, clothing and 15 boxes of quilts for our partner, Awake Israel.

Anticipating a loading on September 28, our team came in early and palletized some additional furniture for container #168. Looking ahead, sufficient items are on the shelves ready for loading. A container has been requested but a date has not been identified thus far.

As always, we never know what GOD will send our way for Israel. That said, as always, we request your prayers that we do HIS will as we try to serve HIM via Harvest of Israel.

Harvest of Israel / Container #165
After a ten day delay, in acquiring a container, just after 8am the box rolled into the dock. There waiting was a load of 210 total items made up of 27 mattresses, 44 pallets and 139 individual boxes. Contents included clothes, backpacks, blankets, quilts, crafts, shoes, paper products and 8 pallets of furniture.
The clothing shipment this time was special. Included in the large pallets were the over nine hundred new and second hand winter coats and jackets provided in a response to a plea by our partners, the Joseph Project. JP will distribute them to numerous locations throughout Israel. Harvest of Israel along with several individuals provided almost $9000 to purchase the clothing items. After numerous visits to Burlington Coat Outlets, Goodwill Industry stores and other bargain centers, nearly seven hundred of the coats were purchased with the remaining 200+ being donated by numerous folks. A big "thanks" to Marilyn and Bonnie, along with their warehouse crews, for the work they did in examining the second hand donations plus preparing the items for shipment.
I mentioned "crafts" earlier. We continue to receive requests from Joseph Project for items for the children. As you can imagine, during war times, the Israeli children may spend hours in a safe room (bomb shelter). Having a "craft" to occupy their time can be helpful.
I should make mention of one other pallet which contained football equipment, specifically football jerseys. Harvest supports the Israeli Football League by shipping used equipment donated by colleges and universities. At least two or three times a year we receive the donated items consisting of anything from jerseys, pants, shoulder pads, helpits and even shoes. The last items came to us from Texas.
Looking forward, our next load to Joseph Project will be #167. The items are ready for shipment and a container has been requested. That said, lately we have experienced some difficulty in obtaining containers. We would ask for your prayers for Harvest of Israel as we continue to support our partners and friends in Israel. Also, I would ask for your prayers for safety for my wonderful team of Harvest of Israel volunteers as we work at God's warehouse and for all of the other volunteers at God's Warehouse.

FROM A RECENT UPDATE PROVIDED BY
GOD'S WAREHOUSE MINISTRIES.

As you know, on the other side of the world war continues to rage. In Israel the rockets and missiles continue to rain down from Iran and Lebanon. However, God’s blessings also continue to rain down, and we are pleased to report that Harvest of Israel has just shipped container # 158 to Israel to support or great partners and friends who are distributing these supplies.

This is the 6th container shipped since January 1st of this year, and the total dollar value of the supplies shipped (just this year) exceeds twenty-five million dollars. Our God is truly able to supply our needs far beyond our greatest expectation’s and to Him goes all the Glory, Honor and Praise!!

In addition to the war in Israel, the war still rages in Ukraine. Here too God’s Warehouse Ministries has been blessed to ship supplies to support and encourage the people of Ukraine. To date God has allowed us to ship 24 container loads of supplies to Ukraine and number #25 shipped on April 10, 2026.

Thanks to all of you for your prayer and financial support that allows these supplies to be received, sorted, packaged and shipped so that God’s love may be shared.

HARVEST OF ISRAEL UPDATE -- FIRST THREE MONTHS OF 2026.

At the end of February and early March our team prepared and sent out containers #155 and #156.

The first container was entirely mattresses as we had purchased 72 sets of twin mattresses from our supplier and had them delivered directly from Atlanta to the port in Savannah. There they would be shipped to Joseph Project International for distribution to various agencies.

At the same time we ordered another full load of mattresses to be delivered to God’s Warehouse. Upon their arrival, we unloaded approximately half of the 72 sets. We then immediately began refilling the container with crates of clothing and paper products and sent it on its way.

It is worth mentioning that many of the items we have shipped in the past are now requiring documentation by Israeli Customs. This documentation has to do with testing, such as on diapers. Is the material used safe for use by children? This type of documentation is very difficult to acquire which means that without it, we cannot send that product. The team does the best it can to search out all documentation possible.

We are currently working on the next container. This one will most likely contain used furniture. It will also include ten or more quilts made by Gary Adkins.

Gary made and we shipped ten quilts on the last load to Be’ad Chaim. Be’ad Chaim operates seven anti-abortion clinics. If a pregnant woman will agree to not abort the baby, Be’ad Chaim will provide support for the mother for the first year. Many of these babies have received a quilt made by Gary.

***A note to our donors. Harvest of Israel, thanks to you, is financially sound. We greatly appreciate your support.

Greetings from Harest of Israel. It has been quite a while since we have updated our activities. However, that does not mean that all the individuals who work in various jobs in this organization have not been busy!!! THEY HAVE BEEN SUPER BUSY ALL THE TIME!

The post that follows this one will update you briefly on our recent activities at God's Warehouse.

This is a picture of our "HOT" crew after they completed Container #143 earlier this week. And believe me they were hot!

Shown below are Charles Thomas, Ralph Guzy, Jay Setser, and Claris Reese. Missing from this picture is Gary Atkins who worked the forklift for this loading event.

This morning we received good news from Israel. Container #135, which shipped from God's Warehouse on May 2nd, was received and unloaded.

On this shipment were 95 mattresses and box-springs as well as 36 sofas. Both of these items are greatly needed especially following the destruction of the ongoing war.

In addition to this good news, Tim Velie and his great crew just loaded container #143 with more much needed supplies. More containers are already on the water headed for Israel, and we will keep you updated as they arrive and the supplies are distributed.

Thank you for your great prayer and financial support of Harvest of Israel.

HEAR THE WORD OF THE LORD from the PROPHET JEREMIAH…

“The instant I speak concerning a nation and concerning a kingdom, to pluck up, to pull down, and to destroy it,
8 “if that nation against whom I have spoken turns from its evil, I will relent of the disaster that I thought to bring upon it.
9 “And the instant I speak concerning a nation and concerning a kingdom, to build and to plant it,
10 “if it does evil in My sight so that it does not obey My voice, then I will relent concerning the good with which I said I would benefit it.” (Jeremiah 18:7-10)

May we repent that God might relent!

Thursday, August 29th, and God had another first for the Harvest load crew (pictured). Container 121 was almost 100% toys. Of course, we have sent thousands of toys on prior loads but not to this extent on one load. Our partners in Israel have been asking for toys. “Why?”, you ask. I believe it is due to the thousands of Israeli children spending countless hours in bomb shelters due to the war. Providing toys and games is a means to help them cope and pass the time. We shipped a variety of toys including Avatar, Action Figures and even ole Mr. Potato Head.
I’ve included a second picture of container 121 and its driver. This is William who has become a special friend over the last few years. We often ask for William as he is always on time and usually arrives an hour early, 7am instead of 8. He’ll even come inside and help with the loading from time to time. You’ll see him in the picture with the crew. He is another friend God has brought into our lives thru Harvest. Just one of many blessings many of us have received over the years. God is good.
As you can see from the picture, we had a full crew with Gary who is not pictured. This was even true with the absence of Billy. “Blister” as he is known, is now home and doing well. Please keep our friend Billy in your prayers as he has a ways to go. Thank you. Tim

Yesterday morning, August 9th, both container #119 and container #120 were loaded and sent on their way to Atlanta, then Savanah then Ashdod, Israel. Although there is nothing magical about the #119 or #120, these two containers coupled with #117 which was loaded Tuesday (August 6th) and #118 which was loaded Wednesday (August 7th) represented the first week in which Harvest had completed FOUR containers in a one week period.

My statement is not to boast, as Harvest does not function to set records. My statement is to confirm the true testament of God’s love for Israel.

Our records indicate, since October 7, 2023, God has provided material donations and financial support to allow us to ship 21 containers to Israel. That’s an average of 1.9 per month compared to our standard, yearly goal of one container per month. God is good.

One last thought. One of our team members, Billy Russell, alias “Blister”, could not join us this week as he is having some health issues. We dedicated #120 to Billy. Please keep Harvest of Israel, Billy and the rest of our team members in your prayers. Thank you.
