Cherri, with so many
great ministries out there,
00:00:01.43\00:00:04.70
why should people
get behind FARM STEW?
00:00:04.73\00:00:07.64
I guess, I would say
the reason to get behind
00:00:07.67\00:00:09.80
FARM STEW is that
we are going out there
00:00:09.84\00:00:12.41
teaching them
to help themselves.
00:00:12.44\00:00:14.68
As God wants us to help others,
00:00:14.71\00:00:17.15
we're trying to help them
00:00:17.18\00:00:18.51
so that they can go
out and help other people
00:00:18.55\00:00:20.82
in their
organization, wherever you are.
00:00:20.85\00:00:24.29
And you know,
there's a great quote
00:00:24.32\00:00:26.02
from Ellen White
that we really hang on to,
00:00:26.05\00:00:29.52
and it says, "You
may give to the poor
00:00:29.56\00:00:31.49
and injure them,
00:00:31.53\00:00:32.96
because you teach
them to be dependent.
00:00:32.99\00:00:35.43
Instead teach them
to help themselves,
00:00:35.46\00:00:37.70
this will be true help."
00:00:37.73\00:00:39.37
But then she says,
00:00:39.40\00:00:40.74
"The needy must be
placed in a position
00:00:40.77\00:00:42.64
where they can help themselves."
00:00:42.67\00:00:44.47
And we see that as
the role of FARM STEW
00:00:44.51\00:00:47.48
is to place the
needy in a position
00:00:47.51\00:00:49.51
where they can help themselves.
00:00:49.54\00:00:50.95
Nice.
00:00:50.98\00:00:52.31
So we're very
thankful to be part of
00:00:52.35\00:00:54.95
helping our church members
have the capacity to go out
00:00:54.98\00:00:58.49
and even reach these people.
00:00:58.52\00:00:59.99
Like you said, Dr.
Fred, he's in Uganda,
00:01:00.06\00:01:03.43
but he doesn't even know
that poverty is out there
00:01:03.46\00:01:06.23
in the extreme way
that it's out there
00:01:06.26\00:01:07.83
until we brought him to
see it, and our trainers too,
00:01:07.86\00:01:10.87
they come in
shocked about what they see.
00:01:10.90\00:01:16.50
That's really
true because FARM STEW
00:01:16.54\00:01:20.88
take this message
to their local people,
00:01:20.91\00:01:24.75
because so many
of the organization
00:01:24.78\00:01:26.35
may spend more of their money
00:01:26.38\00:01:28.65
on
administration and all of that,
00:01:28.68\00:01:31.72
but every, almost
80 cents of the dollar
00:01:31.75\00:01:36.59
go to help the local people.
00:01:36.62\00:01:38.49
So it helps the
local people there.
00:01:38.53\00:01:40.70
Nice. Nice. Yes.
00:01:40.73\00:01:42.60
And, you know,
that's one of the things
00:01:42.63\00:01:43.97
that I love about FARM STEW
00:01:44.00\00:01:46.50
as well is that
you're not being an enabler,
00:01:46.53\00:01:48.97
but you're teaching people
00:01:49.00\00:01:50.94
how to be able to
provide for themselves,
00:01:50.97\00:01:53.17
how to be able to
put food on the table,
00:01:53.21\00:01:56.14
and do the farm-to-table.
00:01:56.18\00:01:57.55
Thank you so much for sharing,
and thank you for joining us.
00:01:57.58\00:02:00.05
Until next time, God bless.
