Food For The Poor: Since the inception of Food for the Poor, it has grown to be the first-largest international relief organization in th eU.S. according to the Chronicle of Philanthrapy. Since it’s beginning it has provided over 8.3 billion dollars to help the destitute around the world. Along with feeding hundreds of thousands of individuals daily, FFP has drilled countless water wells so that people could have clean drinking water, provided life saving medical care, education to children that will enable them to break free from the cycle of poverty that has haunted their families for generations, built more than 78,000 homes so that families can finally have shelter from the elements, and even establish enterprises that are now profitable and the skills to work in those enterprises so that individuals and families will actually have the finances to live on their own. Pastor Gerald Kovac of St. Louis, MO will share the story of this Christian ministry this morning in his message entitled, “Letting the Son Shine Through”. He will also give us the opportunity to participate in this ministry through a special offering. We warmly welcome Pastor Kovac today.
