Personal Dignity Kits Give Hope in Guyana

When a container is shipped to Food For The Poor, it goes to one of the Latin American or Caribbean countries they work with. Once it arrives in the country, Food For The Poor's in-country partners receive items to disburse within their nonprofit or organization.


One of the in-country partners of Food For The Poor Guyana is The Outdoor Library. The Outdoor Library provides help and support to the people in their community.


On November 25, they had an event for the International Day of Elimination of Violence Against Women and Girls. They united together to discuss ways on how to stop violence against women and girls in the Uitvlugt community where they live.


They had fun playing twister, sharing a meal, and having discussions. Midwest Mission Personal Dignity Kits were given to each of the women who came to the event.


You could see the excitement on the women's faces as they received their kits. They put on their bags, and squeezed in together for a picture.

Prayers to Lift Up

This week, we pray for the coming year. We pray God will continue guiding our steps, and that we will be able to serve people in the best way possible this year. We pray for each person who serves with us, that they will feel the joy of serving that only comes from God.


"Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil, or fade."

1 Peter 1:3
