Gardening

Through Heifer International, each year the Festival of Sharing features an international project and a project in the United States.  This year’s US project is a gardening project designed to enable people in poverty to grow some of their own food and even be able to sell some for added income.  It is a program designed to build self-reliance.  It is a hand up rather than a hand out.  For more information contact Carol Oliver at the Festival of Sharing office at 573-474-3332 or email her at oliver@umocm.com

204. MissionCast – Cans 4 Cows – Avondale UMC

woman and cowBill Conaway, at Avondale United Methodist Church, in North Kansas City, heads up the Cans 4 Cows ministry.  He began the ministry years ago after hearing about the need of women in Eastern Europe to receive cows through Heifer International to generate income so they could put food on the table for their children.  Being a recycler it was natural for Bill to think about collecting and selling cans with the proceeds going to Heifer International.  Over the years the ministry has raised over $8,000 which have provided all kinds of impoverished families with animal all over the world.  MissionCast interviewed Bill and brings this report.

For information about the ministry you may call Bill Conaway at 816-454-4192 or email him at cans4cows@sbcglobal.net.
