Will You Help Feed the Dump People?

It is amazing how truly blessed we are, materially speaking! I remember going to Jamaica for the first time in 1997 on a mission trip and while there, thinking to myself and aloud, "Man, the poor people in the United States are much richer than the rich people of Jamaica." I am not sure if we can really know how blessed we are until we see how unfortunate some circumstances are in which others are forced to live. And this especially lies true with regard to our material wealth.

• Can you imagine being so hungry that you would be willing to go to the city dump and find food that was thrown away in order to eat and feed your family?


• Are we able to fathom what it must be like to want to move your family to live at the city dump in order to have access all day to food thrown away?


• What would it be like to live in shelters put together at the city dump; shelters made of sticks and garbage bags?


• How would you feel about living in a place that has an odor so bad that most people would gag when they smell it?


• How did Jesus respond when He walked upon such a place?

Here is an article written about such a place in Santa Ana, Honduras. Please take a couple of minutes to read this. It is powerful. For a video with some footage of what life is like here, along with an interesting perspective on this, click here.

Thankfully we have missionaries there to help these people with food and clothing, as well as to teach them about the good news of Jesus Christ. There is always a need for funds to help feed these people. And it doesn't take a lot. There are a lot of hungry souls at this dump, but $20 per day allows the missionaries and workers there to make sandwiches to feed these people. What could you give up for a week to save $20? It wouldn't be much, and think what it would mean to the dump people in Santa Ana, Honduras.

Tuesday, May 5th, in 12 days from today, there will be a very special day and I pray that you will participate. You can read more about "Feed the Dump People Day" right here but what Trey Morgan wants to do for his friend who is a missionary there is help raise $2500 to feed hungry people who live at this dump. This is an opportunity for each and everyone of us to help fulfill what Jesus discusses in Matthew 25:31-46. Here is an opportunity to have the kingdom hearts Jesus promoted throughout His ministry. We make a daily habit of asking, "What will we eat today?" while the dump people are asking, "Will we get to eat today?"

What can you give? Can you give $50? $20? $10? Whatever you can give will be appreciated and it WILL make a difference. Please consider this. More importantly, please pray for these people that the efforts here will not only noursish and strengthen them physically but that spiritually speaking, these precious souls may come in contact with the gospel. I will provide more details soon on where you can send finanical help. But for now, please take note of May 5th and consider making a commitment to help out with "Feed the Dump People Day."

Thanks for reading!
