Just an update to our Christmas mission to give to those in need. The grand total raised for Missionary Ventures to provide to indigenous families in third world countries was $130.00! Last night we voted and today we completed the purchase of:
- 1 Chicken - Provide daily sustenance to an impoverished family through chickens. Not only do eggs satisfy needs for protein, but they can be a source of income for a family through the sale of eggs and chickens.
- 1 Guinea Pig - Did you know that guinea pigs were originally domesticated for meat in South America? Guinea pigs are a more profitable source of food and income than pigs and cows because they require less rooom and reproduce more quickly.
- 2 Packs of Seeds - We would pay six dollars for one value meal. Consider spending six dollars to purchase enough seeds to plant a whole acre of land. This would provide black beans, peanuts, corn, etc. for a hungry community.
- 2 Rabbits - Provide an income for a family by giving a rabbit which can be raised and sold for meat.
- 1 Goat - Goats are useful as a renewable source of milk and fiber, and also can be a source for meat and hide. Because they are easier and cheaper to manage than cattle, they make great gifts for indigenous families.
