Showing Love with Pigs

Last Tuesday, I got the privilege of helping with the A Perfect Injustice Pig Project. We delivered three pigs and a mattress to seven family in the Bombo village, after spending the entire day searching for a place to buy pigs and a way to transport them. It may have been the most exhausting day of my life thus far - but totally worth it! To add a little drama to the story  - I fell off a boda (taxi in the form of a dirt-bike) on the way back and thought I broke my hand. No worries. It was only badly bruised.

Recently, API started sponsorship for children in the community (previously, only children in our homes were sponsored). It was a blessing to show Jesus to many people in need. Their thankfulness was humbling and their joyfulness inspiring. 

More details were provided in the API blog: 

"A few months ago, God led us to adding a new outreach to our ministry. As we were praising God for the great work He was doing in our boys homes, we couldn’t dismiss the fact that there were many other children in our community that were in the need of our assistance. While these children had a loving family, that family was unable to provide for them education, and many other necessities… so we began community sponsorship! Thank you for the many people who have joined the effort and sponsored these children as well as dedicating your time to pray for them. A handful of these children now attend our homeschool program, and they are improving and excelling at great speeds.

In efforts to help not only the children, but also their families, we created “the pig project.” This week we were able to deliver a mattress and three pigs to each of the seven community-sponsored families.  Yes, the little piglets are adorable, but not offered for pets (just incase you were wondering). Rearing these pigs provides means for these families to become be self-sufficient- an important value here at API.  We pray this project will be successful in improving the lives in our community and we also hope to start a chicken project in the near future. As we provide for our community, we strive to not only provide for their physical and educational needs, but we also desire to teach these families how to provide for themselves and cultivate sustainability.

What a blessing it was to deliver these piglets to so many families we have grown to love! Their expressions quickly became filled with joy and thanksgiving. Yes, A Perfect Injustice provided for a few of their needs – but ultimately it was God using your support to provide through us. We pray that these families not only feel loved by us, but also by our great God who loves them and cares about their every need. We pray that not only are the relationships of these families strengthened, but that each member of these families would form a relationship with Christ!

Deutoronomy 15:11 says, “For there will never cease to be poor in the land. Therefore I command you, ‘You shall open wide your hand to your brother, to the needy and to the poor, in your land.’”
We are thankful for the support that allows us to provide for the needy in our land and we pray that you also seek ways to provide for the needy in your land."

We are still in great need of sponsors for not only boys in our home, but community children as well. If you are interested in becoming a sponsor or would like more details, email aperfectinjustice4@gmail.com
