ABILENE,Texas — Retail giant Wal-Mart
volunteered 18 of its wheels recently
to help relief ministries associated
with Churches of Christ serve cholera-
stricken Haiti.
A tractor trailer bearing the iconic
logos of Wal-Mart and Sam’s Club
backed up to the warehouse of Abilene-
based Global Samaritan Resources and
loaded supplies bound for Miami.
Wal-Mart supplied transportation, free
of charge, for about 30,000 pounds of
supplies, said David Catalina, warehouse
manager for Global Samaritan. From
Miami, Trans Haiti Corporation trans-
ported the goods to the northern Haitian
city of Cap-Haitien. Among the supplies
are furnishings for a house in Cap Haitien
for future teams of relief workers.
“We very grateful for organizations
like these who step forward and assist
us in the delivery of aid across the
globe,” Catalina said.
The shipment represents “a new
collaboration between numerous
Churches of Christ,” said Dave Heath,
AKO I H HM s
onsite coordinator for World Radio
Gospel Broadcasting and WFR Relief
Ministries, both ministries of the White’s
Ferry Road Church of Christ in West
Monroe, La. Ben Adkins is the director
of the ministries.
“We are coordinating between
churches so that we do not miss areas
that need help and do not duplicate
areas,” Heath said.
