Children of the Nations

On Saturday, we had the opportunity to help package food for Children of the Nations, an organization that serves in areas like Haiti, Sierra Leone, Malawi, Uganda, and the Dominican Republic.  With over 100 volunteers, we were able to make 20,000 packages containing lentils, spice, chicken, and rice; and packed them into over 90 boxes ready to be shipped. 

It was a meaningful way to spend a Saturday morning, and it's encouraging to know that what we did would be able to help provide food for many children and their families.   (And we did get to sample a little of the food after it was cooked, and it was actually quite tasty).  The organization said that while it may have been a little cheaper to package the food in the countries where they were going to be used, hosting packaging events like this in other places, actually enables different people to have the opportunity to get personally involved.

May God continue to bless the ministry of Children of the Nations.   Amen!
