Little
Flock
Little
Flock is our feeding program. We provide
a free breakfast for children each morning Monday
through Friday. We set up a kitchen and
seek volunteers to serve through their local church.
We plan a monthly menu to provide variety and
nutrition. Each child receives a vitamin
before breakfast. Donations to our Little
Flock program help buy food and supplies for feeding
approximately 70 children each day.
On average, it costs $0.55 per day to feed one
child.
Education
Lifting
Burdens provides Sunday School Teacher Training
Seminars, weekly Women's Bible Study, Computer
instruction to pastors, repujado (metal embossing)
classes, sewing instruction and other basic craft
classes. From time to time, we teach Adult
Sunday School classes and tutor children.
Our goal is to teach them how to fish and not
to fish for them.
Medical/Physical
Needs
Lifting
Burdens helps pay for doctor's visits, costs of
operations and medicines. We provide
transportation to the doctor or to take care of
legal matters. We distribute clothing, blankets
and shoes where needed. We also distribute
school bags and supplies in the fall. All
of these blessings are made possible by donations
to our "Wherever" fund and gifts sent
by our churches back home.
Construction
Jorge
plays a key role in the construction and in educating
Mexican men and women on how to build and maintain
the projects that we are doing. Our organization
is instrumental in providing the USA teams with
a place to work, the materials to do the job and
a place to stay. Lifting Burden Teams have
built homes for needy families, built classrooms,
installed bathroom facilities, straighten walls,
patched roofs, painted, insulated and drywalled,
installed electrical fixtures, built church benches
and the list goes on and on. If you
