Revive Africa Feeds 1,000
January 28, 2010What a way to bring in the New Year! Thanks to you, we raised over $8,000 to bring Christmas and a New Year's feast to the community in Wellington. Though the gifts arrived late, it didn't stop us from witnessing one of the most incredible events ever. People came from all over to eat rice, onions, peppers and chicken that you provided by donating funds to the Christmas project. For over 2 hours, we served a line of many hungry children, adults and elderly until 1,000 paper plates were used and every bit of rice was gone.
The most rewarding part of the evening was seeing our children in the Wellington Orphanage sharing and serving in their own community. The boys and girls from the orphanage served the needy by taking turns singing gospel songs, sharing the Word of God and passing out food to all that came to the church. In the end, everyone took something different from the experience. It was amazing to see how one meal meant so much to so many.
