African Chicken Farm

 

Jonathan and Megan Reaux are members of my church. They have served as missionaries in Africa. I would like to recommend a ministry that needs help. I have borrowed extensively from one of their recent news letters. We have arranged for online donations to this ministry if you are interested. Follow this link and select “Africa Chicken Ranch.” Okay so it’s not a ranch, but read what follows and you will get the idea. What follows is from the Reaux’s newsletter.

Pastor Petro is a good friend we’ve come to know during our time in Africa. We spent a lot of time with him and his ministry in Olkolili, Tanzania, and have come to respect his dedication to God and the souls that God has placed around him. 

 
He has such a tender heart and a passion to improve lives. Not only is he a pastor of a great church, but he has a school which has over a hundred children, who are either orphans or children of very poor families. Before we returned to America, we helped as much as we could by donating books and our car. They were incredibly grateful, but their expenses go beyond what 1 family can do. They have government fees, teacher salaries, student meals, and more to pay for every month. 

I’ve been in contact with Pastor Petro and others in the states, and we’ve come up with a plan to build a poultry farm near the school property, that will bring in supplemental income as well as provide meals for the school children. The income from this poultry farm will help to fund the operation of the school long into the future. Pastor Petro has met with successful poultry farmers around Tengeru, where we lived while in Tanzania, and they have agreed to help him with advice in starting this new venture. NOTE: With initial donations, the construction has already begun. 

To get this new operation will cost him around $6,000 U.S.D. This will pay for the first 1,000 chickens, their immunizations, and building materials for housing. However, this is money that they do not have. So we want to bless them. It is a gift that will continue to give for years to come, and will enable Pastor Petro’s ministry to be self-sufficient.

You can visit Pastor Petro’s personal facebook page here, and even send him a message. However, his english is not the best. Send him this message, and you’ll make his day; “Mungu akubariki sana!”
Translation: God bless you very much! Here’s the link to give again. You can pay by credit card or echeck. Thanks so much.
