08 Feb Rice & Beans Month 2016 is coming!
Over the past 6 years, we have seen God do amazing things through this unique event. God has shaped our hearts and tweaked our priorities through simplified meals and intentional love for our friends in East Africa. And God has used our grocery savings to help improve nutrition for hundreds of vulnerable children struggling with hunger. Last year, over $12,000 was raised, providing needed nutritional support for kids with HIV, as well as sustainable gardening projects for the families of Lahash sponsored kids.
There are many ways to participate, and we hope you plan to join us either for Lent (starting on Feb. 10) or for the month of March. Here are a few things you can do this week to start getting ready:
- Let us know you’re joining us! Sign up on the homepage.
- Like our Facebook Group to stay connected throughout the month
- Order a copy of “A Common Meal” our Rice & Beans Month daily devotional book
- Visit our Recipes Page to start planning a few meals
Our team here at Lahash is proud to unveil a new Rice & Beans Month guide for 2016! This handy booklet is a tool to introduce new friends to Rice & Beans Month and to provide an update on how the past years’ donations have been impacting vulnerable kids in East Africa.
The booklet is divided up into four sections. Each section has a short impact story, a relevant scripture with a reflection and prayer, and a recipe you can try. It is a perfect guide for a small group or church to use at a weekly gathering, or simply as a boost to your family’s month-long experience. We would love to send copies for you, your church, or small group to use this year. Please email us and let us know how many you need at info@lahash.org
Thanks for sharing this common meal with us!
