Snapshots of care for refugees often can be handing out immediately needed supplies, but not always. On the border of the Central African Republic, Fulani women are tending to a garden, a work initiated by CEFA, a research and training farm in the CAR supported by Sharing the Harvest through Covenant World Relief and their partner Growing Hope Globally (formerly Foods Resource Bank). Their work on this garden will mean they will be able to raise their own food to eat and possibly to sell to meet other needs. Care for refugees might mean empowering them where they are at. And we can be a part of that work.
For the last several years churches in Pacific Northwest Conference have been sharing through a ministry called Sharing the Harvest (STH). STH sells Yakima-area apples to participating PacNWC churches and all those resources go to CEFA. You can find out more at www.sharing-the-harvest.com or your church can sign-up to be a part of this simple, effective, and fun ministry simply by filling out this form and STH will get you everything you need for the sale: Sharing the Harvest 2019 Church Registration. Keep sharing!
