JANUARY MISSION PROJECT (B) – WORLD VISION FARM PROJECT
Globally, almost 1 billion people do not have enough to eat. More than 90 percent of them live in developing countries, and half of them are children. Many poor farmers are unable to grow enough food to feed their families, much less to sell for additional income. Historically, agricultural development has been shown to play a special, crucial role in economic growth and poverty reduction. It has unique “multiplier effects” that spur growth in every sector of the economy. Sustainable agriculture is also essential for protecting, restoring, and maintaining the natural resources upon which all people’s lives depend. World Vision strives to provide children and their families the means to fight hunger and to achieve food security. World Vision helps farmers increase their productivity by facilitating procurement of locally adapted seeds and tools, teaching them improved agricultural practices, and training them on improved post-harvest storage and processing techniques. World Vision helps farmers organize themselves into cooperatives, access credit and other financial services, and learn how to succeed in markets so they can graduate from subsistence to commercial farming. During the month of January, through our designated giving and loose coins, we have the opportunity to support this project.

Reminder that the Sunday Service at Lake Lucerne August 17th, 2008 ... we will be taking a bus or carpooling in order to get over. It's a 10:30am service, so we'd meet at the Berlin church parking lot earlier ... and there would be no regular service at Berlin then.

Green Car Washes? Doing it at home might be cheaper and handier, but it’s nearly always better to go to the commercial car wash. By mixing air and water half and half,
car wash businesses use 60 percent less water in the entire process than
you use just rinsing off your car!
U.S. commercial car washes are also required to send their used water
off for treatment, or to take other measures that lessen the impact of
their discharge. Some of them even reuse their water.
Home washes, on the other hand, waste approximately 116 gallons of
water, which usually drains directly to storm sewers, eventually
emptying into streams, lakes, rivers, or bays, adversely affecting our
fish friends and their habitat.

When you go out to eat at a restaurant, take a small, reusable container
with you to bring home leftovers. That way, you won’t need to use a less
eco-friendly disposable container from the restaurant.
