Food security. Many of us don’t often think of these two words together. With the abundance of supermarkets, mini-marts and restaurants across our country, it can be difficult to remember that securing food is a daily struggle for many people around the world. This is the situation that exists in the rural communities surrounding San Salvador and it is the reality in which The Baptist Federation of El Salvador (FEBES) ministers. This project seeks to provide the necessary inputs (i.e. seeds and small animals) to enable low income families to produce at least enough food to meet their own nutritional needs. But the goal doesn’t end there. Once the families are able to provide for their own needs they will also have the potential to earn income by selling any extra food in local markets. Sharing resources of just $100 with each family will change lives!
Your gifts to the One Great Hour of Sharing offering will provide $10,000.00 for securing food for El Salvadorian families. Central Baptist Church’s goal for the One Great Hour of Sharing offering during the month of June is $3,000.00. Please give generously – online - or mail your offering to the Church or place your financial donation in the plates on Sunday. Share the Love of God by sharing your resources with people in need.
