"Prayer that blesses one and all"

I live in a country where people are challenged daily with poverty and hunger. My own family had been battling these issues for quite a while. Having been a Christian Scientist for many years, I knew that lack could not possibly be God’s plan for me or my dear family—or anyone else.

This became evident when a friend in a neighboring country had the idea to purchase a grinding mill for me. Our family could grind the local village’s corn into maize flour and receive payment either with cash or in kind. This would also provide a valuable service for the community, as it would allow them to buy maize flour at a fair price. Maize is the staple food in my country and maize flour is used to make breads, cereals, and many of our main dishes.
