Ministry & Missions Budget April Needs Budget/Operation $26,006.68
Receipts $ 21,453.00
Our Church is pleased to support CBF Global Missions in moments like these where bearing witness to Jesus Christ takes place through participation, koinonia and witness. Cultivate Abundance, a Global Missions Engagement Partner, works to improve farm worker diets through the availability of fresh, locally-sourced, nutrientdense produce. We also emphasize gardener participation. Besides local homeowners sharing extra mangoes or avocados, there’s the Covenant Presbyterian garden in Ft. Myers where cassava, papaya and other crops are being grown for Immokalee farm workers. Christian Life Fellowship offers eggs from their chicken flock. And First Presbyterian Lehigh Acres shares greens from their garden. Maria, who lives a few blocks from the Misión Peniel community garden, often drops by to help plant vegetables or harvest. And with assistance from Cultivate Abundance, around 20 local families are now supplementing household nutrition with their own container gardens. That’s participation. It’s also koinonia and witness.
