The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.

- Jesus (Luke 10:2)

Nutrition Center



Just getting the hang of this blog-site! It is an accomplishment to have figured out how to add a picture to the post! I'm a little technologically challenged. :)
These pictures were taken at the nutrition center in the hole. The hole is a trash dump that has an entire village built on top of it. The poverty is intense; kids walk the sewage laden streets barefoot. G.O. ministries has started a nutrition center here (and in several other locations). The kids can come once a day every day to eat a good, healthy meal of rice and beans. For most, it is the only meal they will get per day. The food is cooked in a kitchen next door to the church a.k.a. feeding center. Once cooked, it is put on a color coordinated plate, set on a tray, and handed through the slats of the window to the church. There, the kids wait patiently for their color plate to be handed to them. The colors represent different sized portions. Each child knows which color they are to take. Once finished, the plate is handed back through the window. The women in the kitchen are nationals. The picture of the kitchen is of the whole kitchen. It is very small. They feed about 250 kids each day from that kitchen.
