The Mission for the month of April is Heifer International. Heifer International “is on a mission to end hunger and poverty in a sustainable way by supporting and investing alongside local farmers and their communities.” Their work begins with a “seed investment” of agriculture or livestock, which is followed by training and mentoring as families build small businesses, improving their access to supply chains and markets.
A gift of $20 can provide a family with a flock of chicks, ducks, or geese. A gift of $30 can provide a hive of bees. Donate $60 and a family can receive a trio of rabbits. Give a sheep, a pig, or a goat for $120. A donation of $500 can provide a family with a heifer. Learn more at www.heifer.org.
We will be asking the FUMCAH children to help us support Heifer International by helping to collect a Noisy Offering in worship on April 23. So please save your change, mark your calendar to bring it to worship on April 23, and we will make some noise for Heifer International!
