*/A Gift that Grows/*
This video shows how just a little MCC money invested in a grain mill in
Zimbabwe gives a community an affordable place to process its corn. The
Women's Fellowship of the Brethren in Christ Church then uses proceeds
from the grain mill to support its ministries, including a scholarship
for a talented young woman.
