Baby Registration
We have been registered for our baby’s needs at Babies R Us and Target. We have registered for items we either can’t find at all here or can’t find in good quality. We have friends who are going to send us a lot of baby clothes so there are very few of those type things registered for. Our greatest needs are the ones on the lists. You can find a list at each store and/or online at their websites: www.babiesrus.com and www.target.com. We are registered under “Jonathan and Dana McCall” and the state is “NC”.
Please send shipments to us at:
Jonathan and Dana McCall
c/o SIL-UTB
PO Box 60368
Dar es Salaam, Tanzania
It may help to cut down on shipping costs if groups of people send things together. (Not necessary but merely a suggestion.) Let us know via email if you have any problems with shipping. Items that arrive in Tanzania before February 5th are duty free for us so getting things before then will help us out tremendously. Please allow 4 weeks for delivery (no matter what the U.S. Post Office estimate is). And just a reminder, if we haven’t mentioned it, our due date is March 1st.
As you will see on the registration lists, there are very few big items. Those things, such as stroller, car seat, crib, etc, are going to be sent to us from a friend. This is a huge blessing but with it comes a big need. The cost of shipping these items will be approximately $1,500. If you would like to contribute to this need, please send a contribution into Wycliffe by mailing a check made payable to: Wycliffe Bible Translators. Their mailing address is: Wycliffe Bible Translators, PO Box 628200, Orlando, FL 32862-8200. Please include a separate note saying, “For the ministry of Jonathan and Dana McCall”. Any “one-time” gifts we see come through in the near future we will tag for “baby needs”. You can also email us to let us know what you plan to send in so we will know to be expecting it.
In summary, there are 2 main ways you can help us:
- If you’d like to bless us with needed items for our new arrival, we are registered at Babies R Us and Target.
- If you’d like to help us ship the big items being given to us, please send a contribution into Wycliffe specifying that it is for “Jonathan and Dana McCall”.
Thank you all for your love and concern for us. We appreciate all the help you’ve given us as we’ve transitioned to life in Africa. We love you all!
