Goats

EAB's 4-Legs Project has been running for many years now and is in action all the time here. The project seeks to function as an incentive to poor rural folk to rear goats (or sometimes hair sheep which occasionally people prefer). Goats are very hardy creatures who do well in the tough hot and dry conditions of the interior of north-east Brazil. They produce milk which is a great help for the families' young children. Of course the animals also multiply and produce income for people so that they will eventually have animals to sell. Recently we distributed 4 more goats to very poor people in Cajá de Baixo Community in Flores County in the State of Pernambuco. We also distributed 2 goats at Travessia Community in Manaíra County in the State of Paraíba. Each family also received a sack of mineral salt and medication for eventual wounds which the goats may get out in the thorny bush as well as from barbed wire fencing. The families that received the 6 goats also received a Bible and they were very grateful for all they received. This project is another of our ways of demonstrating in tangible ways to the poor and needy God's love. Please pray that the recipients might be fed by the milk of the goats and the milk of the Word.
