Feeding the "least of these"

One of the pastors, a Garifuna man, shares God's Word
before the meal.

In Word and Deed

A few days ago we were able to spend some time with a couple Pastors, there are 7 total who work together in 24 hour rotations, 7 days a week. They are running a feeding program for the homeless people here in La Ceiba. As always, they expressed a need for food, the supplies are very low. They are feeding around 350 at each meal of which there are three a day. Equaling around 1000 plates of food every day. The basic foods are beans and rice, of course. They go through at least 100 lbs of each every month. We are asking that you would step up to the plate and give towards this need. The work these men are doing is amazing. Sharing Jesus at every meal in word and deed. The way you can help is give. We will see to it that the proper food is purchased. 100% of any funds given will go to this project. The cost for just the beans and rice is around $400/mo. If you'd like to give one-time or set up something monthly, you may do so by clicking the donate button below. Pray. See what God tells you to do.
The pastor shares with those being fed at every meal.

Volunteers (street people as well) serve those who come into
the comedor.

Behind the comedor is a bodega for storing food, a dormitory
for those who need a place to sleep or to detox, and sleeping
quarters/office for the pastor on duty. There is also a small farm
for growing food. Currently the farm only has plantain and
isn't utilized much as the property is rented - they are praying
about purchasing the property in the future.

There is also a free medical clinic across from the comedor
with basic medicines (for stomach worms, infections, etc.).
The current need in the clinic is for bandages and wound care
products.
