STARFISH MINISTRY Why Starfish? Remember the story of the little boy who found hundreds of starfish on the beach and began throwing them back into the ocean so that they would live? A man asked him what difference it makes when there are so many. The boy looked at the one in his hand, tossed it back into the sea and replied, "It makes a difference to that one". We can't help everyone in El Salvador but we are making a difference in a few lives. It makes a difference to them. Our minister in charge of the McDonald Foundation to feed the hungry in El Salvador is Rafael Madrid. He has been working diligently to find needy families to take part in our program. Shown below are some of the families we are helping each month. Each family will receive 10 pounds each of beans, rice, sugar and flour. They will also receive a gallon of cooking oil. Our Jehovah Jireh Orphanage also receives those five items in larger quantities to care for approximate 50 children. We are grateful to Corinth Baptist Church and ReGen Church for the offerings they have received that will care for the children at JJ for a year.
