Whether it's finding and shipping a bus to Chile, medical supplies to the Ukraine, computers to Tajikistan, a road grader to Brazil, shoes to Romania, clothes to Sudan, food for Iranian refugees or projectors to the Philippines, ETS is ready to serve. Many items provided by ETS are obsolete in the U.S., but still useful in other countries.
Most items come from government auctions.
Other items are purchased at special discounts. Vehicles, medical and dental equipment, computers, office and school equipment are sometimes donated. Used items usually clear Customs with no or greatly reduced fees. National co-workers can be equipped with the same ministry tools as missionaries without creating dependency or the perils of paternalism. Missionaries spend less time raising funds and more time in ministry.
