Where The Rice Comes From

Rice distributions have a lot going on. This morning in Kampong Chnang there were about 400 people, mostly from the outlying villages. They are seated under a big tent. It usually starts with a couple of skits from the Transform Asia drama team (more on them later). Pastor Setan will give a sermon, today it was about the peace of the resurrection. Then a long speech from whichever political leader is trying to take some of the credit for arranging the rice. But somewhere during this big presentation Jim, a board member with Musicianaries, will be invited to make a speech. Here is a key part of it:

"This rice is not from us at Musicinaries. This rice is not from these representatives of Positive 

Life Radio. This rice isn't even from all of the people back in Americia that donated their money to buy it. This rice, is from the God of the universe! So when you are eating your bowl of rice, say a prayer of thanks to the God of the universe who loves YOU."

Update: I was reminded that the rice bags all say "A gift from Jesus".
