Mercy ministry through food deliveries

Our ministry, the Barnabas Ministry, has started partnering with a food bank that is about 1 hour from here to deliver food to very needy persons. At the moment we are helping 20 people with basic food needs. This includes flour, sugar, jam, milk, cereal, macaroni, cheese, butter, oatmeal, etc. Aside from the couple mentioned above, we also are helping Claudia and her sister; Henryk, a very poor retired person that converted about 10 years ago when I was preaching in the Gdynia train station; Renata’s uncle who is now by himself after the death of Renata’s grandfather; a woman with three children whose husband left her (Renata spends time with her) and another family that we have gotten to know a number of years ago and have shared the gospel with although they have not yet responded.
