Gifts from the Stable
Donating Animals Delivers Hope, Income
How are chickens, cows and goats a display of Christ's compassion? It's simple, when a family receives one of these items, they're blessed with the income the animal provides. Smaller animals reproduce quickly, and their offspring can be sold. Larger animals can plow a field or pull a cart. Receiving a gift from the stable truly changes a life.
Cows
Suggested donation: $580
Cows, and the milk they produce, help families grow healthier and more financially secure. A cow’s milk can be consumed, adding nutrients to the family’s diet, or sold, adding to the family’s income. The cow’s manure serves as a fertilizer for farmers, resulting in a better harvest. As cows multiply, so does the financial benefit and the family’s hope.
Water Buffalo
Suggested donation: $710
Water buffalo are powerful animals often used to plough fields. They produce milk for drinking or selling, and their dung can be used as fuel for cooking. Your gift towards a water buffalo could greatly improve a family’s financial situation!
Pigs
Suggested donation: $100
These portly critters bring powerful financial breakthroughs to needy families. Piglets fetch a good price at market, which enables families to buy whatever they need, and adult pigs provide ample meat for selling or eating.
Goats
Suggested donation: $215
Your gift toward goats can improve a family’s financial situation. In the case of one father, one pair of goats multiplied and enabled him to start a goat farm, resulting in more than 75 goats to milk or sell. He built a house for his family and sent his children to school, offering his children a better future .
Chickens
Suggested donation: $17
Your gift towards chickens can help supplement a family’s income and often helps a family get on its feet financially. Hungry families can eat or sell the nutritious eggs, or they can hatch chicks to increase their flock and later have more eggs and chicks to sell.
