In Community By Community (ICBC) – Eswatini
GSV Impact: A new sustainability initiative this year is ICBC sites planting and harvesting maize. CLC’s in-country partner, Challenge Ministries Swaziland (CMS), provided ICBCs with seed money for the first year’s crop. Each ICBC harvested enough maize to feed the families of their community and moved any leftover to a newly constructed distribution center where the maize can be stored and/or traded throughout the rest of the country.
Additionally, in the first 9 months of 2023, your faithful giving helped achieve:
• 426 new salvations
• 5 ICBC’s built (9/2022-8/2023)
• 67 baptisms
• 3 wells drilled
• 41,557 people in church on Sundays (sum total in weekly services)
• 7 pastor houses built
• 418,500 meals to community members
• 1,705 homes visited
• 111,410 meals to preschool children
• 857 preschool children sponsored
