(JUST MERCY recently purchased a large plot of ground to grow fresh vegetables and fruit trees as a major source of food for the mission and people of that area. \u00a0Fresh water was only about 4 feet down!)<\/em><\/p>\n The Garden: Here in a small community toward the middle of the island where there is so much need, this little project is creating so much anticipation and hope for the future. \u00a0I believe it is because someone\u00a0is choosing to involve themselves in their lives.<\/p>\n Garden plot on Ile a Vache worked up<\/p><\/div>\n <\/p>\n Digging the well<\/p><\/div>\n And I think of the words of Jesus: \u201cIf you love me, you will keep my commandments.\u201d What are the commandments of Jesus anyway?….. To love God with all your mind, heart, soul. and strength. And your neighbor as yourself.<\/p>\n Children from the neighborhood of the garden<\/p><\/div>\n The commandments of Jesus\u2026..I think the story of the Good Samaritan or the parable of the Sheep and the Goats tells us pretty succinctly.<\/p>\n Everyday in all these mission projects, we aspire to live out the commandments of Jesus and teach others\u2026\u2026\u201dAll that I have commanded you\u201d<\/p>\n And yes, we are planting seeds!!<\/p>\n<\/a><\/a><\/a>
