For three weeks, members of the Women's Ministry collected gifts after every Sunday service. On Saturday they packed 40 baskets with rice, cooking oil, soap, salt and tinned fish.

Who received them

The baskets went to widows, elderly members who can no longer walk to church, and families of students living far from home. Each visit ended with a short prayer.
