“It is the smallest of all seeds, but when it has grown it
is larger than all the garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds of
the air come and make nests in its branches.” Matthew 13:32
Hello all,
The Evangelical Methodist Church here in Carrillos has seen
some pretty major changes. As you can see from the pictures below both new and
returning partners have been hard at work!
Over the past couple of weeks, we have slowly seen a hill
being leveled off and we have gone from a pile of barrels and pallets to a
hydroponic garden with cabbage, beans, tomatoes, squash, lettuce, and spinach.
God has blessed us with material donations and just as
importantly, the skills and knowledge of several team members that came here
specifically to garden. This has allowed us to take a project from a theory to
a reality.
As many of you know, the garden will be taken care of by
groups and members of the local church and community. The vegetables grown will
be used to supplement the feeding programs already running during the summer
months here in Carrillos as well as our other feeding program ministries.
Additionally, any extra vegetables can be sold and the money
used to buy other goods such as rice, beans, meat etc.
There is still a lot of work involved, but the seeds are
literally planted! We are excited to have this project up and running and look
forward to continued blessing!
