We took the example set by Pastor Felipe and duplicated it in a larger community, Batey Mamey. (For those who have been following the blog, this is the same community we did the medical clinic in September.)
This is also a very remote community, several kilometers from the main road and even further from the conveniences of the city. Many of the people in this community do not have jobs. Those who do find work, have to travel very far and work for very little in construction or in sugarcane fields, etc.
We used the same process, the pastor of this community went to each home ahead of time, made a list of the names of each family and how many people lived in that home. Over 100 families came to the church to receive food. The pastor also shared about how Jesus was concerned with people souls, but he also took the time to care for their immediate physical needs. They received the food in the love of Jesus Christ.
