Last month, World Food Programme Executive Director Josette Sheeran, expressed her enthusiasm at the WFP Hunger Seminar in London. “You [today’s students] are the generation that will end hunger… In the future we want our grandchildren to ask us what hunger and starvation were.”

With the fact that 20% of the riches who “might” doesn’t really know the feeling of hunger conquered 80% of the earth resources, meanwhile the 80% of the poor and pooerest is fighting for the 20% of the earth resources. Realizing this fact, we need to work hand in hand to overcome the problem. We should be proactively help the poor to get out from their condition.

Ini adalah cerita bergambar dari perjalanan kami, menembus reruntuhan jalan kaca menuju sungai tiram untuk menghantarkan berkat “sederhana” yang telah saudara berikan kepada mereka melalui pembelian Gantungan Kunci Salib. Keuntungan dari penjualan tersebut kami belikan susu. Hari ini kami mendistribusikan 50 kotak susu. Lumayan pegel karena jalur yang cukup jauh yang harus kami lewati, tapi kami memperoleh kesempatan untuk menangkap pemandangan di sekitar area tempat kami melayani dulu (jalan kaca) yang sudah tergusur.

Read : Ruth 2

At one end of the truck terminal where H.H. Lee worked years ago was a coal company. Nearby were a railroad, and each day several freight trains passed by. Lee often noticed that the owner of the company, who was a Christian, threw chunks of coal over the fence at various places along the track. One day he asked the man why he did this.

The man replied, “An elderly woman lives across the street, and I know that her pension is inadequate to buy enough coal. After the trains go by, she walks along and picks up the pieces she thinks have fallen from the coal car behind the engine. She doesn’t realize that diesels have replaced steam locomotives. I don’t want to disappoint her, so I just throw some pieces over the fence.”

That’s Christianity in action! The book of Ruth vividly portrays this principle of giving. When Boaz saw Ruth gathering grain behind the reapers I n his field, he commanded them to leave some handfuls of grain for her. To her, this was a blessing from the LORD.

In the same way, the people whose lives we touch need to experience God’s love through our compassion and generosity. That’s why we should ask God to make us aware of opportunities to show kindness. – Henry Bosch

Do a deed of simple kindness;

Though its end you may not see

It will reach like widening ripples

Down a long eternity – Anon.

Kindness is the oil that makes the friction out of life

Puji syukur kepada Tuhan, atas kasihNya yang menyertai pelayanan ini. Selama ini saya sudah share dengan cukup banyak rekan-rekan, dan saya percaya ada rekan-rekan yang mendoakan pelayanan ini (Cross Project Ministry). Doa kami adalah agar pelayanan ini dapat menjadi Sebuah tindakan nyata untuk memberikan pemenuhan gizi bagi anak-anak dari keluarga yang tidak mampu, melalui pemberdayaan ekonomi Ibu Rumah Tangga sehingga memiliki kemampuan untuk memberikan pemenuhan gizi bagi anak-anaknya.

Saat ini, Ibu-ibu di jalan kaca sudah memiliki keahlian untuk membuat gantungan kunci berbentuk salib dari motte yang indah. Anda bisa melihat contoh produk gantungan kunci yang dihasilkan oleh mereka dengan klik disini.

Saat ini juga, kami mendoakan agar ada pembeli-pembeli yang mau membeli hasil karya mereka, sehingga melalui keuntungan kami dapat mendistribusikan susu bagi anak-anak mereka.

Yup, kami tidak mengambil keuntungan, sebagian dari hasil penjualan diberikan dalam bentuk tunai (1 salib yang dibuat mereka akan memperoleh Rp.1000) sedangkan keuntungannya akan dipakai untuk membeli susu merk Ideal yang bisa diseduh untuk 5 gelas.

Kerinduan kami sangat sederhana dan semoga melalui yang sederhana ini kami dapat menolong anak-anak mereka agar tidak mengalami kekurangan gizi.

Anda juga bisa membantu mereka, bahkan kami berpikir mungkin anda adalah jawaban doa kami . Tolong bantu kami dalam melakukan promosi atas produk mereka. Dengan hal-hal kecil seperti meletakkan banner dibawah ini diblog anda atau web anda.

But as it is written in the bible “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.”
Php 4:6, thus we put the biggest question of “who will buy the products” to The Biggest Solution provider – our Lord Jesus Christ -.

As we put our anxious into prayer and thanksgiving unto Him, we decide to start the project. At the beginning this project, everything seems find. We start by sharing this project to a lot of people from local church diaconal to person in charge in Jalan Kaca. Not all responses are good, but we find that even in great barrier there is an “invisible” hand that allows us to keep run the project.

After a month delay from our plan, at last we can run the first phase of project, we conduct training to the housewives in Jalan Kaca. Hallelujah, we were accepted warmly by the woman’s fellowship there which leads by Mrs. Ira and Mr. Paul. After a short socialization, we can approach some mothers there to join the workshop which will be held every Saturday at 14.00-16.00.

We surprisingly found that a lot of mothers there doesn’t join national contraception program, we found there is a mother who have 6 children, and most of them have more than 2 children. With their low class economic background, it’s for sure having children more than 2 is a burden for them.

What is miracle? From the project we find, “Miracle is the conjunctions of many coincidence with one purposes to Glorify GOD.”

Another surprising event, we found there are already some housewives that were training by the local foundation to create the same cross key chain. Well, you can say that this coincidence, but for us it is miracle. What is miracle? From the project we find, Miracle is the conjunctions of many coincidence with one purposes to Glorify GOD.

To have a visit every Saturday is one difficulty, but God provide at least there is one of us can keep on visiting and training in jalan kaca. The workshop was attended by average 3-5 housewives. We held the training approximately 4-5 times and from the training we have some cross chain project. After we finished our training than the first questions in first paragraph came out.

But God speed and God Provide, the networking between members of cross project that has been built since the beginning of our project has allows us to have the 1^st buyer. And we have deliver 10 Cross key chain to the buyer. Thanks to Dian, from the profit we buy 4 box of “IDEAL” milk by Nestle and we have delivers the milk to the Ms. Roulina (She is the 1^st housewives that deliver 9 cross key chain). Actually the cost from 1^st delivery is zero, because the material is leftover from training small group leadership in youth commissions (yes, we train the leader to make cross.).

And here is some pictures :

Ada waktu dimana terlihat semua jalan tertutup, tidak semudah yang dibayangkan. Tetapi lucunya, ketika kita mencoba untuk percaya dan tetap teguh dalam jalan yang kita pilih, maka mukjizat terjadi dan menjadi nyata.

It ever moved me to cry

It ever moved me to pray.

Hoping You would hear

But I shut my ears

For You had answer

But I am lazy to hear

For I heard the story

Now, I am going and seeking

What is the best of mine?

Will be blessed by Him

through the simple of mine

but be a blessed for them

Tetapi anehnya tidak setiap apa yang saya lihat dan yang saya rasakan berdampak kepada perasaan saya, padahal jika merunut dari urutan indera adalah dari mata turun ke hati (mengikuti lagu-lagu cinta tempo dulu)… atau dari semangkok sop lalu masuk melalui mulut , dikecap melalui lidah, kemudian dirasakan sampai (lagi-lagi) ke hati (sambil bergumam aduh uenakkk tenannn sup buatan ibuku ini)

Tapi mengapa hal itu seringkali menjadi absurd, hilang begitu saja ?

Anda tidak percaya, Baik sebagai contoh Apa reaksi anda ketika anda melihat berita seperti kutipan berita di samping..?

Apakah anda dengan segera membalikan ke halaman selanjutnya, finansial misalnya, untuk mencari informasi lainnya yang lebih aktual dalam kehidupan anda ataukah anda termenung ketika melihat berita tersebut dan kemudian bersamaan dengan berlalunya kegiatan melemparkan berita itu dalam tumpukan koran dan membiarkan “ketermenungan” anda menguap bersamaan dengan berlalunya waktu… atau apakah anda berhenti untuk berpikir? Tuhan, apa yang bisa saya lakukan untuk mereka?

Tulisan ini merupakan kelanjutan dari tulisan mengenai Project Salib. Saat ini Project Salib sudah disharingkan kepada beberapa pihak, selain personal juga disharekan kepada badan diakonia dari tempat penulis melayani. Jikalau saudara termenung dan memiliki pertanyaan yang sama dengan dengan pertanyaan terakhir (“Tuhan, apa yang bisa saya lakukan untuk mereka?”). Anda dapat menghubungi saya di YM: oegi GMAIL : oegi99304y@gmail.com, saat ini sudah tersedia materi presentasi yang jauh lebih detail menjelaskan mengenai proyek ini.
