"Amazing to see a vision birthed come to fruition through the hard work and commitment of so many different churches. It's a worthy price to pay for the children to have a safe, sanitary, and beautiful place to be cared for and taught the things of the Lord."
Mike Portland Calvary Chapel Tustin/South African Missionary

"It was an easy opportunity to get involved in a project that directly impacts lives—plus get to know others in my church. Fathers and sons can work side by side and have fun laughing and sweating together So convenient—you just show up at church and get to work! Thanks!"

"What a blessing it was to work on the containers. It was a great opportunity to serve the Lord by helping the needy and enjoy the fellowship within the body of Christ halfway around the world!"
Loren—Volunteer

"It was a great experience to open doors between our different cultures and where we actually live close to each other. Above all, it taught us that helping others guides you in being less self-centered in this fast-paced world. It is a privilege to be a part of the Cargo of Dreams’ vision."
Werner and Leonie Huge • Paarlberg Dutch reformed Church, Small Groups

"We see CARGO OF DREAMS as a creative innovation which is working! Seeing grungy old ocean containers brightly painted and fitted out to bless children ... well, CoD could be the best possible connection between the folk "back home" customizing the containers, and the children in Africa who need a proper environment for learning. We are privileged to have helped launch this powerful new project of God's love with flesh on it."
Joel and Jann MacCollam—World Emergency Relief

"Every child created by God is special in His eyes and should have the opportunity to dream, learn and be able to receive the medical care available today. I am thrilled to see such an innovative and caring way for something so bland and functional as the Cargo units be transformed into rooms of hope being carried to the ends of the earth. What a great way to bring the body of Christ together for a great cause! Bravo!”
Rodney Hatfield, Senior Executive of Sales and Marketing—Sound Enterprises, Inc.

"The first thing that comes to mind is the unbelievable generosity of people to make the earth a better place for others. Cargo of Dreams is about many people doing something small making something great. Cargo of Dreams shows the goodness in people, how the Lord will provide in what He has planned for you, and it keeps me humble when I see how blessed I really am. May this project be blessed and may I have the opportunity to be involved in future."
