Friends in Deed

We gambled and lost last year, and had to have our bad bets covered by some friends. Since our crop failure last year we've been living mostly off of the good will of several donors, Reach Now International, Feed My Starving Children, Gleanings for the Hungry, Stop Hunger Now, New life Church, Church of Living Water, Church of the Open Door, Horizons Church, The Butte County Rice Producers and Far West Rice, and a load from a church in the Phoenix area through Dave Wilkinson.The kids are well fed and the products have saved us. It's been said, "That anything which does not destroy you makes you stronger". I get the idea, but I'd like to argue the point. Certainly, this past year has been difficult, but in deference to the axiom, it has produced in us, the need to protect against such vulnerability in the future. Ultimately, we will be better off as we develop the safeguards against disaster. Right now we are thankful for our friends![nggallery id=1066]
