We have been praying for supply for these two communities in great need, and oh how the Lord suddenly answered! We were given hundreds of cabbages, which we cleaned and prepared, taking off the outside leaves and loading then into the van. And from every side, the Lord began putting the puzzle together through sudden donations of food and toiletry items (85% of everything needed), donations of funds, and amazing deals on the few things we needed to complete the parcels like maize and carrots!

Under 24 hours after receiving the cabbages, we were out in a drizzle at the first community distributing maize, bacon, cabbages, carrots, onions, apples, soup packs, cereal, tea, coffee, hot cross buns, COOKIES, tissue paper, sanitizer, and Gospel Activated magazines! It came together absolutely miraculously!

And that’s not all…

Before heading out, we prayed and asked Jesus to let the food last longer for each family than it usually would. And the answer came, though different than we expected! We allocated what each man, woman, and child would receive, and had the maize and carrots and hot cross buns and etc etc amounts ready. Soon after beginning, we saw there was somehow MORE than there should be. So we gave MORE carrots per person, and a cabbage to every single member of a family, not just the adults. Still there was more. We began giving TWO bags of maize to the people, or extra hot cross buns, and left extra cabbage on top of their own parcels.

And at the end of all that, with THREE full food parcel bags for every man, woman, and child in BOTH communities, there were still over 60 cabbages left over, which we took to a soup kitchen! It reminds us of the loaves and fishes miracle, and proves once again that God is still on the throne, and prayer changes things!
