Recently Unto® team members in the Middle East had the opportunity to visit a refugee family from Iraq. The mother is battling cancer. Because they are refugees, the father cannot work. They struggle to provide food and other basic necessities for their three children. Our local staff team was able to provide warm coats for the children during their visit. They were overjoyed! Our team member shared: “Do not underestimate the little, small things. When we visited them, we gave their children new jackets and that put such a joyful smile on their weak faces.” These children received new jackets because people like you provided the funds to ship them to their country. Without funding for shipping and distribution, lifesaving containers of aid do not get loaded and shipped. And critically needed supplies do not make it to their destinations. Unfortunately, this really happened in 2016. Funds for shipping were short, and we had to cancel six containers that were promised to our field teams. As a result they were unable to gain access to people in some areas. The people did not get the food and critical supplies they needed. Opportunities to share the hope of Jesus were limited. Together we can ensure that does not happen again! The needs of people around the world can feel overwhelming. But do not underestimate the small things. We serve a God who can take a little and make it into a lot. Every $1 ships and distributes $10 worth of lifesaving aid and shares hope. You can be a part of helping suffering people in the toughest places experience the kindness of Jesus through humanitarian aid by giving now! |
