First Harvest





This week the Bon Samaritain women's group harvested their first batch of lettuce and mint -only a month after they set up their gardens.  They sold 4,550 F (10.70$ +/-) of produce on their first day of sales.  A bundle of mint and a head of lettuce sell for 100 F each (0.25$). The word is out in the neighborhood and now kids are sent to the center to buy fresh mint and lettuce! The micro-jardin project is a great example of how the local church can connect with their community in a tangible way that demonstrates the Gospel in all of life.  Pray for this women's group to experience the transformation of God's grace in their lives.
