Yesterday, after visiting the single mom and her children with her food package, the local pastor who kindly and spontaneously took time out of his day to help us told us about his sister. She has no one left to care for her, but she cares for all her grandchildren and some of the children in the village. Most days, she is left struggling without food. Whenever she does have a little bit of food, she will always make sure that the children of the village are fed. Every day, she will make sure the church is safe and cared for; she is one of the caring little grandmas of the village. Her brother, the pastor, told us that he normally tries to help her out as much as he can, but right now he is having to work all the hours just to get by and keep the church going. So, he asked if there was a way we could help her this time with a little bit of food.
We know this pastor and knew he wouldn’t ask if it wasn’t a desperate situation. With this, we felt led not to just give her a little, but to give her all the food she was in need of, which she will also share with the children. When we arrived back to her house, she didn’t know that we were coming, so she was out in the other village. However, one of the grandchildren was home, so we left her food package in her house for her to come home and be surprised that she now has food. The pastor was so immensely grateful for the help for his caring sister. He stood in his sister’s house and gave thanks to God for the help.
There are SO MANY in need here, and we would like to continue to provide food to the hungry. If you would like to be a part of this, you can do so by clicking the button below.
