June 15 was another prayer meeting at the church we attend. One of the men (Verolo) that attends this prayer meeting is actually working with another small church up in the mountains. That church has a family living in their community that is living there without any support. The father (Max) had a business that went under and they are living in a house that another man is allowing them to live in rent free. They have several children and the man is trying to plant papaya. This is all well and good but it takes a few months for the plants to bear fruit so in the meantime they have next to nothing.
Back to Verolo, he works at the church in the mountains as a volunteer pastor. The nearest church gives him $32.00 per month to help with transportation. At prayer meeting Verolo asked us to pray for Max and his family, especially that they would have food on their table. In passing Verolo mentioned that he had given half of his honorarium to Max last month.
My tithe seems very small.
