Imagine you have no food in your house, no canned goods, no staples like flour and sugar, not even a grain of salt. That is our house today in the village . . . empty. In preparation for our return to the village, we have spent several days purchasing supplies, from “A to Z”: Ant Bait, Basil, Canned Corn, Dish Soap . . . . Yeast, Ziplock Bags. Not only do we need to purchase these items, we need to purchase enough for 3 months: 36 kilos of flour; 20 kilos of rice; 14 kilos of chicken . . .! During our first shopping trip, we were able to get most of these items. After 2 hours of shopping, the receipt was only 6 feet long! In November, when these supplies are consumed, we get to do it all over again. As a result, along with having the title “Church Planter”, we also have the title “Supply Buyer”.
