Default the work of send a cow

Hello everybody, I'm Jess from Send a Cow and wanted to take the chance to introduce myself here on this wonderful forum. Send A Cow is a charity based in Bath, United Kingdom and we run sustainable agricultural programmes in nine countries in Africa to help small-scale farmers overcome poverty and malnutrition. We were founded in 1988 by a group of UK farmers who sent cows to families in post-conflict Uganda. The idea is that by developing strong community groups through education, and sustainable agricultural systems. If you want to find out more and see how you can help change a families future through ethical and sustainable farming get in touch! I look forward to chatting with you all. Thank you very much for having me here! :-)

thanks for the warm welcomes guys :-)! Yes we do send cows but they are bought in Africa and the focus is more on sustainable farming and teaching methods that can be passed on throughout communities. We recently just heard of a great case study where a family received a heifer from Send a Cow, along with extensive training in how to care for the animal, how to work effectively with their community group, and how to use the manure from their animal to grow napier grass, crops and vegetables. Since then, they have gained another cow and have milk to drink and sell, they’ve started growing crops and fruit to sell at market, and the family have a nutritional, well-balanced diet.Not only did they give their cow’s first female calf to another family in need, in accordance with the Send a Cow code, but they’ve also helped many other farmers to increase their crop yield using susatinable organic farming techniques.

I am glad to hear that Don't worry i also believe one and only God, Jesus and the Bible but not Matta, Marcus, Luka, Yuhanna. I believe the original that Jesus brought.
I took a brake already for few days but i can't stop myself to do few changes everyday
A charity send me some papers. They make surgeries for blind kids. A surgery costs 1500 usd. Its sad to hear that a kid can't see because they don't have such amount of money

Thank you for advice my friend
Its nice that we pass this belief issue. I was worried about this. I do not drink alcohol and eat pork either and i also dont pray to images and statues. I do not even dare to picture Him.
God bless you my friend. I will be careful

Clean Breath
For a better future
you know kreal some times I feel ready for paradise
Paradise
Well for me God's love is more important than paradise
I don't know about paradise but i am sick and tired from this fake world.
If i read the news, i see many people killed or dead all around the world
People rape each other, steal from each other, kill, burn, destroy.
One side people drive jeeps live in huge houses, the other side children die from hunger and noone really cares.
There is not much good in people
I hope you will go to paradise

People don't want salvation, they want destruction.

They teach evolution theory at schools, which is just a theory with no proof
Human race found around 20 million fossils till now yet there isn't a single "middle form" fossil. There isn't even 1 fossil. How can it be ? They say we all evolved but there isn't even 1 proof inside 20 mil. proofs

All the fossils shows that there are no evolving from one animal to another. Yet they don't care. They steal belief from the hearts of youngsters

And also people believe what their ancestors believe. They don't care if its the truth. Rare people read all the religions. They say everyone here believe this. So if you born in China then will you be a Buddhist and worship to a statue? but they do not use their brain

Even from Adam that we have been told we shouldn't kill but thousands of people die everyday. Its even written all the Holy books but who cares, right ?

There are many proofs in the universe but people are so busy to explain complex stuff. They miss simple truths. Such as big bang.
At universe matter+energy is always same. Matter never get lost it only changes form and turn into energy. Then 15 billion years ago matter+energy was same, at the moment that big bang happened. So where does this matter+energy came from. There can be only 3 answers for this question. 1.Universe was always here ( but everything has a beginning why universe is different) 2. God made it all 3. I don't care where i came from i just care sex and money even i will go to hell.

People have brain but they do not use it to think. At least they do not use it to think God, they use to how to earn money kind of stuff.

Anyway, it looks like there wont be a lot of people in Heaven

Don't worry, I didn't get sad because of what you said
Trust me there are not much people who really cares. Mostly people support charities because they want to brag about it or they have some kind of self-interest from it.
I wish i can be optimistic
Anyway, i hope everything will be great for everyone
