Tuesday, morning we had breakfast then headed back into the US
to the Ministry headquarters to get orientation for our Mercy Ministry activity
– feeding families of Anapra. We would go to a grocery store about the size of
a large grocery here in the US,
buy food to feed 250 families and eat lunch at the store’s deli. We were given
instructions of what we going to see on the way to the church where we would
set up the food distribution line. After the line was set up, a family would be
given a bag for us to put food in for them. In order to go through the line,
these people had to attend a church service and get a laminated card for
admission to the line. This was how they limited the number of families coming
through the line. Of our missionary team, only 3 have done this before and I
was not one of them. Now for some more pictures. These will be shocking at the
same time saddening especially for those who have never been on a mission trip
to help the less fortunate.
Just take a moment and think about this. You are viewing
this web site of words and pictures about the experience of the mission trip
that the 11 of us went on to answer the calling of our Lord to help these
people. If you can see these web pages on WebTV or computer, would you enjoy
living like these people have to do? No phone, no TV, no running water and
certainly no internet access. These people live today in 2003 what we here in the
US lived like
oh probably 150 years ago. Of course back then, our drinking, cooking and
bathing water was not taken by bucket out of 55 gallon drums that once held
toxic waste or crude oil. Doesn’t this just make you thirsty for a glass of
oily toxic water to quench your thirst? Maybe you will want to fill up your
sport bottle with this toxic nectar?
