90-91 A CHRISTIAN RESPONSE TO HUNGER Images of multiplied blessings are common in the Bible. The parable of the talents speaks of 10 fold increases. One hundred fold growth is recognized in the parable of the sower. The generosity of one young boy resulted in the feeding of the 5000. The Canadian Foodgrains Bank is a charitable inter-church agency dedicated to assisting its ten church partners respond to the food needs of the Third World. Gifts of Canadian grain and cash are used for emergency relief as well as for food-for-work rehabilitation projects. The Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA) generously matches our food- aid program expenditures on a three to one basis. The Canadian Foodgrains Bank is seeking 15,000 MT in donated foodgrains for 1990/91. These grain donations, plus cash donations and the contribution of CIDA, will allow Foodgrains Bank partners to respond to urgent food needs in Angola, Sudan, Ethiopia, Nicaragua, Haiti and other food deficit countries.

"He who provides seed for sowing . . . will multiply it and swell the harvest of your benevolence, and you will always be rich enough to be generous." II Cor. 9:10 (NEB) Designate your contribution to the account of Adventist Development and Relief Agency (ADRA Canada)
