Rice Kitchens

The nutritional balance of the world depends upon the rice crop. The redemption of the world depends upon the dissemination of Christ's Gospel. Therefore, man has two basic hungers -- PHYSICAL & SPIRITUAL! To meet these two basic needs, World Missions Far Corners in 1971, in India, set up a chain of mobile Rice Kitchens. Our objective -- to serve areas of disaster, crop failings and the starving, and to present the Gospel in a clear and concise way.

The average American consumes 4.66 pounds of food a day while the average Indian, if he is fortunate, eats 1.22 pounds of food a day, mostly rice. The family dog in America eats better food and more of it than the Indian worker. A sack of rice costing $25 will feed about 300 adults at a cost of about 8.3 cents each, or 400 children at a cost of 6.2 cents each. We add oil, vegetables, curry and meat (fish or mutton) to make it go farther. We grow much of our own vegetables and raise some meat on our 65-acre complex. On an average over a period of years about 48 percent eating at the Rice Kitchens accept Christ.

"Preaching the Gospel" is the most important enterprise in the world. The Rice Kitchens are a means to that end. World Missions Far Corners must have partners. None of us working alone could have such a miraculous record of achievement on a continuing basis as the Rice Kitchens.

You may be a humanitarian, desiring to feed and clothe, to minister to physical needs; or you may be a concerned Christian eager to win souls. Both aspects may interest you. Whichever, the Rice Kitchens are a factor to ease physical and spiritual hunger. It has been said, the problem is too many people. What is being done? Multiplying bread, feeding the body and soul.
