This morning our team headed out early to pick up the children for the Feeding Center. Parents were already waiting at the roadside to help load their little ones into the van. Every day, one of the fathers faithfully offers our pick-up team chapatis—a local flatbread, like pancakes—as a simple gesture of thanks.
Today our daughter Rebecca was part of the team. As the children climbed aboard, this father pressed an extra chapati into her hand and quietly said, “Please tell Mama Carol and Pastor Gary thank you for everything. Our kids are very blessed!”
It was a deeply humbling moment. He didn’t have much to give, but he gave from the heart. To us, that small chapati carried more meaning than gold. It reminded us that gratitude is not measured by the size of the gift but by the love with which it is given.
We are continually moved by the faith and generosity of the families we serve.
“I have shown you in every way, by laboring like this, that you must support the weak. And remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that He said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’” – Acts 20:35
