World Hunger Project

Covenant World Relief

Sudan Agriculture Project:

Our donations continue to support the Covenant World Relief (CWR) agriculture project in southern Sudan. Corn grown is used for food relief, as well as pay for church leaders and worker families. After seed corn for the next season is saved, the extra is bagged and sold in the market. As the price has gone up, the farmers can rent more land and also will have money to rent a tractor to prepare the land. They will be able to buy tools and seed for more local gardens. Money earned will also be used to purchase bags for crop disbursement. The success of this project has done much to encourage the villagers after so many years of war and famine. We at Community Covenant encourage you to be generous in your support of this project

1 John 3:17 - 18, "How does God's love abide in anyone who has the world's goods and sees a brother or sister in need and yet refuses to help? Little children, let us love, not in word or speech, but in truth and action."

YOU CAN HELP:

We are now sending our donations to CWR to support the refugees from Darfur region of the Sudan who our pouring into Chad. We hope you will prayerfully consider participating in one or all three parts of this project.

If you are interested in participating, simply write the word "hunger" on the back of the welcome card in the bulletin. Any checks should be made out to Community Covenant Church, designated CCC World Hunger Project and placed in the offering. On the second Sunday of each month, a time will be set aside for prayer and accepting donations to help our brothers and sisters who are hungry around the world.

At CCC we envision a threefold process:

1. Regular prayer both individual and congregational

2. Fasting on an individual basis as a symbolic way of acknowledging world hunger

3. Donations, perhaps of an equal amount spent on pet food or a meal in a restaurant

We hope you will prayerfully consider participating in one or all three parts of this project. If so please write "Hunger" on the back of the welcome card in your bulletin and place it in the offering plate.
