FOOD & COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENTThe world’s poorest suffer disproportionately

from the inequitable distribution of wealth

and resources. They experience hunger,

lack safe water, sanitation, and adequate housing.

There is little or no money to educate their children.

Nutritious food is our most basic need in life.

Help families combat extreme poverty with these

CBM gifts that not only ensure a healthier life,

but also grow and multiply in effect.

“My name is Stephen.I am a farmer in the Rift Valley. God has blessed me with a wife, children and grandchildren. A few years ago we had no food and no money to buy food. I was desperate, but then we received food aid, seeds and training from our local church on conservation farming and water harvesting. I also started a nursery to plant trees on my land and sell seedlings to earn income. We have seen God doing miracles!”

A CHRISTMAS SNAPSHOT FROM THAILAND

“My name is Joanne.My mom and dad like to help people, especially kids in the village. But when my dad was young, his life was not always so good. He used and sold drugs, until one day he heard about Jesus, and his life changed. He stopped taking drugs. Now, he goes to a school for pastors. He has a Canadian teacher there – CBM Field Staff Conrad Kwok. Through the school my dad is learning how to run his own church, orphanage, and school in the village.”

A CHRISTMAS SNAPSHOT FROM LEBANON

“My name is Isha and this is my sister Maurie.Our home in Syria became scary and dangerous with bombs and bodies in our street. Our family had to escape with nothing. We’ve been here for over a year now. It is hardto live in a new place, but I feel safer. The local church in our community helps us survive by providing food and medical care. I’ve come to know about Jesus and he gives me hope that I will be able to go home one day and go to school again.”
