44. Heifers to Mississippi – Carol Oliver

Heifer InternationalIn this episode of MissionCast Carol Oliver tells the story of the Festival of Sharing heifers that were delivered to Mississippi.  Heifer International is an amazing organization that provides various kinds of animals to impoverished families.  They also provide training on how to care for and breed the animals.  Each family that receives animals then passes on the first offspring to another impoverished family in a moving ceremony call the “passing on of the gift.”  For more information about Heifer International contact Carol Oliver at the Office of Creative Ministries.  (oliver@umocm.com)
