Food For Hungry People

We have received four food containers last year and two already this year. When a container full of food comes, a lot of hungry people can be fed.

Last week, we went to the warehouse to get several cases of food for the wife of the mayor of Tegucigalpa. She runs a program that feeds single moms and their children. This program was just about completely out of food. We were going to pull 120 cases of the rice meals that we received last month. We had 87 cases pulled when her people arrived.

Seven people arrived in a Toyota double cab pickup. Marc said the most he had ever got in one his pickups is 40 cases. We thought we would have to put some of it back in the warehouse. But these people came for food to take to the hungry single moms and their kids and they were not leaving without all 87 cases.

They got 56 cases in the bed of the truck. Which was amazing. Then they begin to open the cases and take out the packets and put them in the front seat. When the front seat got full, they begin to put the packets in the back seat.

Even Milton, a Honduran, said unbelievable. Milton told me those people would take a cab or a bus, that there was no way they could get in that truck. He was wrong. The driver got in the front seat, the three ladies crawled in the backseat, and the other three guys got on the back of the truck and they left saying thank you. Can you imagine three people being in that back seat?

This week Marc took some of those cases of rice meals to another village. Rixa is the dentist that treats our children for free. Her mother is the director of a school in an extremely poor village near Sabana Grande. Two pickups were loaded and hauled down there. Marc said the drive was beautiful and the children were precious. Rixa's mother is doing a great job with the children. They were very polite and well-mannered.

Praise God for those containers of food and that hungry people are being fed.
