"God, Please Send Food!"

Share This article

Early every morning, Mosoni and her siblings go outside to play.

Mosoni said, “I love to play hide and seek. We hide behind the house or fence and when someone finds you, they tap you on the back.”

But the kids didn’t always have the energy to play.  Mosoni’s mom is a farm worker but because of an ongoing draught, she struggled to provide for her children.

Mosoni’s mom explained, “I woke up at sunrise to fetch water.  I came back midday with only a little water. At times, the draught was so severe we went to bed without any food.”

Mosoni said, “My stomach and head hurt so much I thought I would die. I wished for it to be night, so I could just sleep. I prayed to God in heaven that He would send us food.”

Operation Blessing did so much for this family and many others.  First, we invited them to join our school near their home. Here they’re getting free education, and two meals a day.

“When we finish eating our tummies are very full,” said Mosoni.

CBN reporter, Dan Reany, said, “This school is in the foothills of Mt Kilimanjaro. There’s no electricity out here, and yet students are using tablets charged by solar panels to study Swahili and English.”

Mosoni said, “I am so happy here. After class, I play with my friends.”

We dug a well at the school, so families have fresh, clean water just a short walk from their homes. Mosoni’s mom also joined our agriculture program and grows enough crops to feed her family.

Mosoni’s mom said, “Now, even during the draught, we have food. Mosoni taught us how to pray.  And every time we eat together, we thank God for our food.”  

While holding one of their baby goats, Dan said, “In addition to being part of the agriculture program, Mosoni’s mom is one of about twenty ladies helping raise and feed these goats. They milk them and sell the milk in the market.”

Mosoni’s mom said, “I pray that everyone who helped us will have a long life, and that God will double everything you have, so you can help more people.”

Mosoni added, “Thank you for loving us, and for helping us.”
