Day Three - I Was Hungry! Kin Ellis

In Matthew 25 you can read about the day of judgement! The sheep & goats are seperated! The
dividing factor was did you 'give to the least of these!' Today we packaged enough food to feed 5000 people a meal. That's 200 bags of rice, beans, flour, sugar, spigetti, sause, and some other stuff. One packaged black trash bag full of this stuff will feed a family of four for five days.

We loaded our cramed, packed trash bags and went to 'El Canon'. Just a little village that has somehow managed to attach itself to the side of the hill that we climb in the bus to get to Villa Gracia. Students went in groups of four to distribute the food to the homes! Kyla watched a lady start to cry when she gave them the bag of food! Each group talked in our evening devotional about how they saw Jesus in the lives of the people that we gave food to!

After lunch we headed to a day care set up by the last first lady to take care of very poor children. What a blast we had meeting and playing with the kids there. The food that had been so carefully gift wrapted was carried to the day care to give out to each of the 74 families represented there!

God is Good! -- All The Time!

From Isaiah 58:6-7-- "Is not this the kind of fasting I have chosen: to loose the chains of injustice and untie the cords of the yoke, to set the oppressed free and break every yoke? It is not to share your food with the hungry and to provide the poor wanderer with shelter-- when you see the naked, to clothe him..."

Thank you for seeing Jesus in every face you encounter. Truly you all are feeding-- in more ways than one-- His precious children, and showing your love for Him in the process! Thank you for giving those of us who are Stateside, a glimpse of your God-experience. Our family is praying for you all!

Love & Blessings,

Sherry
