Defective screens cause delay

Over 10,000 LCD screens shipped to computer companies were defective. This caused a huge backlog in orders. Missionaries are among those having to wait for computers.

For those who serve overseas, this has created a significant problem. Several have already gone to the field without their computer; and more are waiting and praying that their computers will arrive before they are scheduled to fly out.

Having to ship the computers overseas adds a huge cost – between shipping and customs. And there is the very real danger that the computers will be stolen in transit.

Because Dave orders most of the computers NTM missionaries use, he has to explain about the delay.

• Pray that the computer companies will be able to catch up with their back orders.
• Pray that the missionaries will order their computers months in advance so there is a stronger possibility of getting them before they leave for the field.
• Pray for Dave to have a gracious spirit as he deals with the computer companies and with the missionaries.
• Pray for couriers (other missionaries or visitors) who can hand carry computers to missionaries who have already gone overseas.
