On Thursday, April 4, long-time partner, Cultivadores, came to Midwest Mission and picked up a load of supplies to bless people in need in Rantoul, IL.
Cultivadores is a non-profit based out of Rantoul that has a mission to take a healthy approach in providing or locating services for families in their community. Established in 2004, Rev. Nelson Cuevas and his team have worked hard to meet the pressing needs of their community, answering God’s call to love our neighbors.
They serve Rantoul through social services, counseling, a food pantry, youth programs, summer camps, and day care.
We partner with Cultivadores to provide needed hygiene and school supplies, as well as bikes, that they can give to those in need.
Their organization received 400 Student Kits containing basic school supplies, 408 UMCOR Hygiene Kits, and 12 bikes from Midwest Mission.
The value of this disbursement was $12,669.76.
These items will truly bless those who receive them. Each item they receive has been prayed over, and each recipient has been prayed for by our dedicated volunteers.
No one should be without basic resources. One gift, one Kit, could completely change the outlook of their life, by providing hope and empowerment, and a little encouragement that things can truly get better. More importantly, they are shown the love of Christ in a practical way.
