In 2010 God had placed a burden on my heart to help the poor living locally in Ventura County by raising cattle and then to donate the meat to local food pantries to help those in need. Shortly after, I started volunteering at a local food pantry for a little over a year. I recall clearly the first night serving. Before arriving I had no idea what I would be doing but soon found that they had assi
gned me the task of distributing the meat from the refrigerator. Seeing the broken families and individuals going through the line broke my heart but it wasn't until the line was coming to an end that I realized the magnitude of what was taking place. An elderly woman approached me and as I handed her a packaged steak she all of a sudden broke down crying and gave me a hug. She went on to tell me that without the meat that I was giving her she would have nothing to eat. My heart just sank. During my time serving at the pantry and seeing the lack of meat, as well as the poor quality of meat that was being distributed through the pantry, my heart was broken again and I renewed my commitment to move forward with the hope that God had given me. Throughout this time God has faithfully confirmed and reconfirmed what His calling was for my family and me. We believe that the Father has called us to show His heart to those in need. As the elderly women cried on my shoulder, the reality of Mathew 25:35-40 came alive. When Jesus says he was hungry and you gave him food, he was thirsty and you gave him something to drink, …he was naked and you gave him clothes.... and the King will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me. There is nothing that compares to when the word of God is realized in our everyday lives. At this time we are reaching out to you for your help to raise funds to purchase some fencing material as well as some cattle in order to move forward with the mission He has given. We are reach out to our family and friends to come along side of us in prayer and support. If God has broken your heart to help those in need and if He is calling you to come along side us in these efforts please consider a donation of $10, $20, $50, $100 or what ever God places on your heart in order to help us start this great cause. The funds that we raise will help us in purchased fencing material, several head of cattle, veterinary cost, grass for the cattle and most importantly processing of the meat at a USDA processing center so we can distribute the meat to those in need. As this ministry continues to move forward we invite you to come visit our little farm and see how you can get involved personal and help out. In Christ,
Marco Vujicic, Founder
