Every day, Tabor and his wife, Yamika, labored in the fields, tilling, picking, watering, coaxing the earth into producing enough vegetation to live on. Each day their hands toiled to fill the bellies of their seven children with food.

Pastor Nachum arranged for Tabor’s family to receive piglets at GFA gift distribution, this act of love stunned the family amid their poverty
Rearing pigs is very profitable for villagers, but many cannot afford the price tag. This woman, like Tabor and Yamika, was gifted a piglet which will grow and give birth to multiple piglets, establishing financial security for decades.

Tabor explored every avenue available to him to increase his income to better provide for his family. But as each attempt fizzled out, Tabor’s frustration boiled over. He desperately wanted to provide a better life for his family and send his children to school, but failure stalked Tabor, and his family remained in poverty.

One day, Tabor and Yamika met GFA pastor Nachum, who shared the love of Christ and encouraged the struggling family to entrust their worries to Jesus. As Pastor Nachum spoke of Christ’s faithfulness and His wondrous works, the words of hope lifted their heavy hearts.

Hearing about the family’s struggles moved Pastor Nachum. Tabor’s determination was admirable, and his desperation was heartbreaking. Wanting to help the family, Pastor Nachum arranged for Tabor’s family to receive a pair of piglets at a GFA gift distribution. This act of love stunned Tabor and Yamika, whose poverty had only ever earned the scorn of others. Relieved to have help in their troubles, the couple and their seven children gleefully walked home with piglets wiggling in their arms.

Piglets and Peace Multiply

Pastor Nachum continued to reach out to the family, who were eager to know more about Jesus, the God who cares for the poor and needy. The family began attending services at Pastor Nachum’s church and found hope in the messages shared and community with other believers.
