GBC kids food hampers

We have around 60-80 kids who attend our Friday children's ministry and we have missed them terribly since the lockdown. I worry about the kids as I don't know what their situation at home is like and some of them I have visited and do know what their home life is like and know it is not a great situation for them to be in 24/7. I also worry if they have enough to eat.

As soon as we got the food hampers, I knew I wanted to go visit with the kids that we see each week to check them and take them some food. We wanted to help with a physical need, but also to help encourage them and bring hope in Jesus Christ to their families. My friend Tebogo and I were so encouraged seeing the children again. Here are some testimonials we received from our visit.

•       Late one evening I received a Message from a little boy named David who comes to our children’s ministry every week: “Hello, Aunt. It’s David, can you help me with something to eat, I’m starving. So thankful this little boy reached out and plans were made to visit him the very next day and take him a BGR food hamper.

•      Message from a single mom with 5 kids after receiving her hamper: “thank you so very much…the love you have is too much! God bless you!” The sister of the mom does not know Jesus and we presented a clear gospel presentation. She was not ready to make a decision at that time, but wants to visit our church when things reopen.

•      Message from a mom after delivering a food hamper to her and her 4 kids: “Morning…thank you teacher Amanda for the food hamper we really appreciate it. I was taking a bath when you arrived. The kids were so happy for seeing you and they were singing all praises about your love and generosity. We did not receive anything from the government and they were saying you are the best. They told me that you prayed for them. May the almighty richly bless you.” The government has collected donations to assist those here in Botswana during Covid19. They are sending social workers around to assess the need, but we are finding many people in need are not receiving the help from the government that is clearly needed. This family’s home burnt down last year and they lost so much.
