Soup Kitchen in Limon off to a good
start
This was my first mission trip, and what a great trip it was! Before
our mission, we organized several fund raising events to raise money
to start a soup kitchen. I was so excited to be apart of such a great
mission and kickoff of a much-needed soup kitchen for over eighty
orphans. Now, I only wish that I had worked a little harder to raise
more money to help feed these precious children. I was so amazed at
how appreciative the people of the village were for us helping Christina
organize such a huge task. Our team brought large bags of rice and
beans for her to prepare for the children. We also gave them peanut
butter and applesauce to mix for a dessert. I can assure you that
there was not a plate that was not
 cleaned
by these hungry children. My father and I were thrilled to present
Christina with a check for over $1,000 that we had raised to continue
the soup kitchen. We estimated that it would cost $260 per month to
feed the children two meals a week. The rest of the time the children
will have to continue eating what is left over from the other people
in the village. Our plan is to raise enough money to continue feeding
these children during non-mission team visits. I can attest to the
claims that it would be a life changing experience. My heart was broken
when I witnessed Pastor David and Christina weeping as we prayed for
the success of the soup kitchen. I did not have to understand their
foreign words in order to understand their love and compassion. I
could feel the Lord’s presence as the tears flowed from their
eyes. We need your help in keeping these wonderful children fed.
