A support program
for helping
to feed the world's homeless children
This program has been designed by the Mission
Committee of First Presbyterian Church Burbank to help provide
financial funds to national Christian leaders who are feeding homeless
children in Africa and Latin America.
Our example for this program is the young lad who
shared his lunch by giving his five small loaves and fishes
to Jesus when the Master needed to feed the 5,000.
How you can share your
lunch
- You can participate in this program by sharing your lunch one,
two or three days a week in one of two ways:
- Choose to fast on the selected day(s) each week and donate
the amount you would have spent on lunch to the Share Your
Lunch program to help feed hungry children. As you fast on
the selected day(s), we recommend that you find a quiet place
during your normal lunchtime and pray for the homeless and
hungry children of the world. Remember to pray for those national
Christian leaders who are caring
for them and their needs
- Contribute matching funds for what your lunch costs on the
selected day(s) of the week.
- You can choose the ministry to which you want your funds donated.
The three programs we have chosen for support through this program
include two in Kenya and one in Brazil.
The ministries you may choose from are:
- Kenya Street Children Project
for those children orphaned or abandoned to the streets of
Nyeri, Kenya operated by the Reverend and Mrs. Bernard Muindi
of the Presbyterian Church of East Africa.
- Makobe Children's Home
for children orphaned by AIDS in Makobe, Kenya (among Muslim
people) operated by the Reverend and Mrs. Stephen Sesi of
the Africa Inland Church.
- Presbyterian partners ministry
to street children in Argentina and Uruguay for orphaned or
abandoned children living on city streets in Latin America.
- You place your lunch money for each week's commitment in the
Share Your Lunch envelope distributed by the Mission Committee.
Be sure to check the designated recipient for your funds and fill
in your name (and envelope number if desired) so your giving can
be recorded by the church.
- You commit to participating in the Share Your Lunch program
for six weeks. Each time we begin a new six-week period, you will
be notified. At the end of each six-week commitment, you will
turn in your Share Your Lunch collection envelope.
