Dear friends,
Last year, Elda and I open a preschool so that we can teach God’s principle to our children. We want them to become godly men and women who will be able to form a better society. Unfortunately they could not come to school all the time. Most of their parents couldn’t give them a meal before they come to school. Most who manage to come, couldn’t listen to the teacher due to hunger. The smaller ones were crying all the time for food. The school seems like a prison to them instead of a pleasant environment to learn just because of lack of food.
Last year, Emily Crane and I witnessed a child died because of malnutrition in a hospital of Gonaives. We felt very sad about that. Since then God told her to partner with our ministry to start a feeding program. For now, we can only feed 30 children because of lack of finance. March 6, 2012 was the first day of that program. It was a day that the Lord has made for them. We desire to provide a meal every school day. We also desire to give food that can help them to be healthy. For now they are happy; they smile, they play; they are excited to come to school. Right away the attendance started to rise. That is why Jesus said this: “For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was stranger and you invited me in, Matthew 25: 35.” Help us us do the same thing with Jesus-Christ, our savior, bringing the good news of Jesus to these children.
