Airline Ambassadors - Cincinnati, Ohio / Mircales In Action
2004

• Empty Tomb Ministries Foundation helped sort and prepare for shipping stuffed animals, children’s clothing, baseball caps, and shoes to be shipped to Guatemala. Since 1997, Airline Ambassadors has delivered over $11 million in humanitarian aid to children in developing countries. It is a grassroots, volunteer-driven organization dedicated to improving the lives of impoverished children, many of whom are lonely orphans living in the garbage dumps.

• A Kansas City, Kansas kindergarten class heard about Empty Tomb Ministries' need for shoes so they had a shoe drive in October. These bunch of five and six year olds delivered nearly one hundred pairs of shoes to Empty Tomb Ministries’ headquarters in Minneapolis, Kansas. The new and pre-worn shoes traveled over 200 miles and were a blessing for the needy children in Guatemala.

• Great Plains Manufacturing with plants in Beloit, Abilene, and Salina, Kansas also got involved and donated 277 new and pre-worn shoes for the cold and bare feet of the Mayan children in Guatemala. Also, a 9-year old girl in Salina, Kansas cleaned out her closet and donated some of her warm clothes, shoes, and a large bag of stuffed animals, which the children use for pillows. All the shoes, clothing, and stuffed animals were delivered to the shipping point for Airline Ambassadors in Wichita, Kansas.

• Also, ETM collected 42 afghans from three ladies who had heard about the need in Guatemala. They had made these afghans for the children so that they could have a warm blanket to shield their little bodies from the bitter cold.

• In addition to the above humanitarian aid collected by Empty Tomb Ministries Foundation, Salina Regional Medical Center donated three huge pallets of out-dated medical supplies, which were also shipped to Guatemala through Airline Ambassadors. All the supplies made it to Guatemala in time for Christmas.

He also helped make a friendship quilt with all the girls and played basketball with them.
  The next day he assembled and helped distribute 70 wheelchairs to the poor and needy. The recipients also received a lap blanket, stuffed animal, and a large bag stuffed full of treats and a can of Pepsi. Late that afternoon he visited a baby orphanage and gave love to little kids that are starving for attention.
  The last day he visited a library for poor migrant worker children and helped hand out diploma's for the kids who graduated from Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel programs. Then he visited a migrant workers camp and saw kids suffering from smoke inhalation, feet that were bleeding and oozing with infection, no shoes, no shirts, no underwear, and no socks. They also did not even have a place to sleep except on the wet and cold ground without any covering.

• Empty Tomb Ministries Foundation (ETMF) paid for and supplied Riverside Indian School with badly needed art supplies. These art supplies are used for behavior modification and allows these naturally artistic children to express themselves in a positive manner instead of acting out in a negative behavior. The volunteers had a lot of fun and fellowship in shopping and delivering the art supplies to Mission Native America.

• ETMF received an emergency phone call requesting much needed cooking equipment for the S.W.A.T. Once again the Lord made a miracle happen when nothing seemed possible. Within 8 hours of the request the gates of heaven opened up. In a fifteen minute span between 8:45 PM and 9:00 PM God provided 2 new crockpots, 2 new roasters, 3 used crockpots, 1 used electric skillet, 1 large convection roaster over, 1 small toaster oven, 1 microwave, and a new gas stove with self-cleaning oven. Luke 1:37, “Nothing is impossible with God!”

• ETMF volunteers from Wichita, Eldorado, Minneapolis, and Andover traveled to the Riverside Indian School in Anadarko, Oklahoma to style hair and paint fingernails to get the girls ready for prom. Ten special ladies gave up their time, talents, and treasury to show God’s love to these Native American young women. A blessed time was had by all and the fellowship was reported to have been heavenly.

This banquet really lifted the spirits of the downcast staff and open up the door for a ministry team to visit the campus and interact with the students.
