Missionaries Ron & Michelle Smith - Reaching Peru with Food and the Gospel
We have received our first shipment of 43,000 pounds of vitamin rich, dehydrated
rice meals to feed to the malnourished children of Peru. One portion of food a day
provides all the vitamins and minerals needed for an entire day. We use the food
to physically feed the hungry children while also feeding their spirits with the
gospel of Jesus. Our vision is to build a manufacturing plant in Lima. This would
enable us to cut the cost of shipping the food, while also helping the economy by
providing jobs to some of the local people. The cost to receive one shipment of
food is approximately $7,000.00. We would receive one shipment every 3-4 months.
As of now, we are sending out 12,000 meals per month. For the start-up of a manufacturing
plant, it would cost $50,000.00. Please consider if God would have you partner with
FIRE PERU to reach the children of this nation. The food is simply our tool to have
contact with the poor and hurting children.
James 1:27 "Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this: to visit
orphans and widows in their trouble, and to keep oneself unspotted from the world."
