Karol's Kitchen

Our container to Belize is out of customs and in the warehouse in Punta Gorda.....These are volunteers, Karol and Larry Smith unloading boxes of food. 932 boxes of food to be exact...each box contains 14 bags of food and each bag contains fifty servings of enriched lentil soup. That is over 652,400 meals for the hungry children and elderly on our Manna bus and several orphanages in southern Belize and eastern Guatemala! Way to go!

Karol's New Kitchen Design

LOCATION:
Heart of Punta Gorda, Toledo, Belize

Karol Smith administrates this great ministry that feeds over 110 meals in a small, cramped space inside Josie's home. Josie recently added a porch and picnic tables for people to sit on as they eat. Many people would eat around her living area before that. We have plans that we will be putting up soon as to the design of the "mobile" kitchen. 
Our immediate plan is to "trick out" a school bus that has already been donated to Amigos with everything they would need to feed the "hungries" around Punta Gorda. Being on a bus would be an extra blessing as it would be portable and able to be moved at a moments notice if the need arose to feed elsewhere.   

Here is the layout of the new "mobile" kitchen designed for Josie and Karol!

AMIGOS' PART TO PLAY...

Amigos Internacionales was given a bus several years ago and Women's Missionary Union gutted it, cleaned it up wrapped it and called it a change bus! They drove it around the state, used it to show how God has changed lives in underprivileged nations and now they have given it back to us!  
We in turn want to turn it into a "mobile kitchen" and take it to Punta Gorda and let Karol and Josie feed the hungries.
We are partnering with First Baptist Church of Commerce, TX to do much of the labor and hopefully with some additional fundraising, we will be sending it on it's way to find the next missionary task at hand.
The mobile kitchen, we feel is the best use of the money as the house and land where Josie lives has been a missionary house for years and if that arrangement should end at some point in the future, we move the bus with Josie and keep the ministry going. Here is a list of parts and costs for the kitchen. If you can help, contact us soon!
