Thank you for visiting our WATER BUFFALO page!

You and we accomplished it! We bought this helpful beast who will give a family in south Asia food, fuel, a new livelihood, AND (in the future) perhaps water buffalo calves for their neighbors. (As you can see, we ended up with more than enough! So we actually contributed $79 toward another water buffalo. Hooray!

But WAIT, there's MORE!
Not "a catch" but an invitation:

Please go to https://www.mygfa.org/ and look at the opportunities available. These opportunities are for YOU.

Are you on Facebook? or Twitter? How hard is it to post a link or a personal request?

No, we're NOT saying it's easy, but think about the Blands you know--about John and Gay writing you to say, "send money, please!" HA! Was this something you ever expected us to do? You KNOW we would have preferred to sell something so we could just quietly buy the beast ourselves. But God. . . .

He gave us the invitation, and then He gave us the courage to do what He showed us. And then He gave us you, many of you, who stepped outside of yourselves and gave.

So, please accept our kind invitation to ask our Kind Heavenly Father for His not-so-comfortable help:

Join Him in pouring out His love on people who are so thirsty for it. And rejoice!

About Water Buffalo

Water Buffalo are tough. These robust animals can easily haul a cart or plow a field, and they also supply milk. Purchasing a water buffalo may even help a poor mother feed her children and send them to school. Watch the video to learn more.
