Aussie Drought Relief - Feed The Hungry

The farming community in regional New South Wales is struggling under the massive challenge of a drought, considered by many to be one of the worst in history. On the 8th August 2018 the entire state of NSW was declared to be in drought.

Almost 20% of the state is under intense drought conditions. Many farmers have sold off all but their core breeding stock, however with a lack of food many of the remaining animals are now at risk of dying.

The Bureau of Meteorology says the long-term future remains quite dire. Experts say the stress of the situation has caused mental health issues to rise by over 70% and has led to a marked increase in serious injuries and on-farm deaths.

In response, Feed The Hungry has joined hands with local C3 churches in Bathurst and Tamworth to show farmers and the communities of regional NSW that there is hope. That God’s people, good people, care.

Your gift today will be used to help the most severely affected farm families with groceries, petrol, and feed for livestock. Hand in hand with the local church, these families will see that God is good and that they can make it.

Prayerfully consider what you can do today to share food and the gospel with our neighbours in need. Send your best gift and stand in faith with the drought-affected farm families of New South Wales.
