Self-sufficiency is a long-term goal of Source of Life.When the home moved to Gressier in 2013, a flock of chickens was established thanks to a neighboring church. With leadership by Natasha (a Haitian staff member), enough chickens were being raised to provide chicken for the children’s home as well as visiting team members. The only time chicken had to be purchased was to serve very large events. In January of 2019, that changed; Natasha was unable to find baby chicks in the Gressier area to purchase, but young chickens were still available. Natasha began purchasing them, so that she could finish raising them, but this age chicken is much more expensive than the baby chicks were. Several months later, even the young chickens could no longer be bought because either the price was too high or none could be found. Since then, it has become necessary to buy chicken meat, which is much more expensive than raising chickens. Pray with us for God’s provision.
