God's Global Barnyard

Welcome to GOD'S GLOBAL BARNYARD! This is a collection of ELCA World Hunger stories that relate to animals and highlight projects that help feed people through the gift of animals and agriculture. Many people raise animals as a source of income to help buy food, and your gifts support this important work.
