Good Shepherd Lutheran Church
is starting a farm!
You are invited to pick up a God's Global Barnyard box at the
table in the narthex. Placing your loose change, bills, and even
checks, into the box will help end world hunger.
How? As we collect money from the small boxes, farm animals will
be purchased for needy families worldwide. $10 provides 10 chicks
to build an egg business. $25 adds a turkey to a family's yard.
$30 buys a pig for a family to break the cycle of poverty. $50
provides a goat for a family.
How can a goat change a life?
Goats are a helpful part of God's Global Barnyard because they are
hardy, multiply rapidly, are easy to care for and produce
nutritious milk. Goats can survive drought-striken areas by eating
drought-resistant shrubs and grass. Children can care for goats,
which is especially helpful when families are dealing with a
serious illness like HIV/AIDS.
$250 builds and stocks a
community fish farm. $500 buys a high yielding cow. Cows are
especially valued in the fight against world hunger. In some parts
of Africa cows are a family's security and bank account.
Barnyard animals provide
families with food, funds and fertilizer, breaking the cycle of
hunger and poverty. Your gifts to God's Global Barnyard go beyond
livestock and provide training, access to safe water sources, help
securing markets and much more.
Check the barn periodically
to see
our farm grow!
