Although we have seen much suffering due to the COVID-19 outbreak and the economic challenges from the resulting lockdown, we are thrilled to report the many ways we have been able to help those in need during these trying times. Some of these ways were … (see more)
We unexpectedly received a very unique donation; an state-of-the-art adjustable hospital bed, a wheelchair, walker, and commode. All brand new!
We’ve been able to distribute a whole lot of fresh loaves of bread to families in impoverished communities, as well as add bread to the loads of food for centres that care for children, the infirm, and the disabled.
The ladies at a community startup business were so pleased to receive several large bags of leather pieces, as well as material, mannequins, and hangers, all to use in their making and selling of items to support their families.
Carrots, Potatoes, Onions, Marrows, Oranges, Apples, Bread, Instant Cereal, Tea, Milk, Sugar, Jimmy Sauce, Bananas, and a Gospel Activated magazine went into parcels for the dear people of this impoverished community. Through the hours of distribution, the tender smiles that dawned when we reminded them – man, woman, teenager, or child- that Jesus loves them, showed us it’s worth it all.
How wonderful to see God work! Someone showed up at the mission in the evening with an unexpected donation – 166 loaves of fresh bread! (And just that morning we’d been praying for the ability to reach out to more in need!) The bread went all over, to patients at clinics, quadriplegic centres, a creche, an elderly care centre, and to displaced or homeless individuals. On behalf of all the recipients, our thanks to Jesus and to the kind individual who gave all this bread!
In addition to specific focuses and projects; picking up, sorting, and distributing foodstuffs to soup kitchens, centres and individuals keeps us busy all week long! We at Helping Hand are 24/7, so whenever some of us take an off day, others keep the ministry going! And whenever help is given, it is given with the message that God’s Love is the reason why; that all may know that they are Known by Him.
Over 7 hours harvesting!
The Spinach went to:
– 5 Soup Kitchens
– An Orphanage
– A Home for Disabled Children
– A Quadriplegic Centre
– Parcels for Individual Families
A Huge “Thank You” to the farmer who donated the fresh produce, as well as the extra volunteers who assisted our Helping Hand team in harvesting!
