We were blessed through generous support to distribute 300 food bags per week for a full year during the COVID-19 pandemic. As people began going back to work in Honduras, we wanted to transition out of food bag support by giving families a way they could help sustain themselves. Our team member John researched and found laying hens that we could give to area families so that they could have their own food source.
A few women from the communities we work in helped us coordinate the families who would be receiving the chickens, and John and Rafa took turns driving the chickens out to the families. The families were grateful for the gifts and to know that they can count on having eggs of their own now. The hens have already started producing daily. There is a real esteem that comes from being able to provide for yourself and your family, and we thank everyone who helped get the ball rolling for these families.
We are grateful to everyone who gave toward this effort and toward food bags for the past year. It has brought such peace of mind to many families during the pandemic. More than that, though, it is a reminder of God’s family across the world and a testament to His love that people would care about their brothers and sisters in another country even as the whole world is in crisis. We are blessed beyond measure to know so many wonderful people in both countries who come together to love and serve on another.
