Pew.,. What's new with the feeding this 2013?
We started the feeding last July in celebration of the Nutrition month.
We started with 160 children at four schools, two of these schools we just started this year. And because God is a generous Papa there's more extra food always so we are adding to maybe up to 40 more children. Yay Jesus!,!!
So here's what we do:
At the two schools which are far from our center, the food is being cooked there by our volunteers with the supervision of the feeding teacher. We give them budget for two weeks and when we give the next budget they will have to give us receipts of the spendings.
With the other schools the food is cooked at our center and be brought at the schools by our volunteers everyday.
What's new and exciting this year?
1. We have about 22 volunteers it's huge comparing to 8 or so last year plus some more people who didn't commit theirselves but they go and help on some days.
2. We are now having a monthly meeting with them.
Last week i had meeting and lunch time with them.
There are so many testimonies. Some of them Never experienced feeding children who are malnourished.
One lady shared how she felt joyful seeing one kid just smiling after eating. Another shared how she felt when the children gets excited upon seeing them coming in from the school gate.. Amazing!
The monthly meeting with them is to help them grow more in Jesus. Feed them Spiritually so they can give more.
The meeting would be just like that of a house church meeting or we go out and eat or we go at the park and have fun. Different every time but would be very encouraging to them and them being filled with Jesus.
I am dreaming that God would use these bunch of ladies to move and transform the whole city of Baguio. God is investing and making these people be anchored in him, be firm in him, and be in love more and more in him. And then he's gonna send them put!
I cry every time i think about what God has for these people.
Some of them are house wives, and they are just at home taking care of their children. Some of them haven't even finish any degree. Some of them barely has enough food in their house. But they gave their lives to Jesus, offering what they only have, theirselves.
I remember they boy who gave the fish and loaves of bread to Jesus. He might be hungry by that time but he chose to offer it to Jesus. And Jesus was able to use these few fishes and bread to feed thousands of people.. I'm imagining the boy might have been so overwhelmed and fell more in love with Jesus.
Awesome!
