Took a harvest service this morning which was themed on 'God's Abundance', and used resources provided by the Methodist Relief and Development Fund (MRDF), particularly relating to Cambodia.
What came across were two main points, I hope! Firstly that God provides for our needs, but also provides that we might share, not hoard (nb Israelites and the Manna in the desert). Secondly, that it doesn't take a lot to make a difference. Just as a small amount of yeast can make a loaf rise, so a small gift can be multiplied.
6 chickens given to a Cambodian farmer can be grown, bred, eggs sold, seed bought, crops grown and the initial gift passed on to someone else such that a whole community can benefit.
It doesn't cost a lot to make a difference!
