Feeding Hungry Children
|
Children living at a large city dumpsite gather for a hot meal and some Bible stories. Your donations help feed them.

A pastor's wife in a very poor city in the Philippines cannot stand the thought of a child being hungry. In a church surrounded by hungry children, she began to feed them breakfast at 6:00 am. She now feeds around 60 very hungry undernourished children every morning. It is amazing to see the change in them when they receive regular nutrition.
Another pastor writes, "Every morning the children walk by our house on the way to school. Some of them did not have any food at home for breakfast. If we have anything we can give them, we call them and give them some breakfast and some snacks to take with them to school."
Another pastor told us of visiting the home of one of the children to find out why she did not show up for school. The child was crying because she was hungry.
Another tells of giving food to the family of one of the children who was sick as a result of malnutrition. As his diet and nutrition improved, so did his health and his grades in school.
Not everyone is called to sponsor children, but we can all help to feed hungry children. Every gift, no matter the size, helps feed a hungry child.

Jesus had this to say about feeding the hungry:
"'I was hungry and you gave Me something to eat...'. Then the righteous will answer Him, saying, 'Lord, when did we see You hungry, and feed you...?' And the King will answer and say to them, 'Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did it to one of these brothers of Mine, even the least of them, you did it to Me.'"
(Matthew 25:35, 37, 40)

------------------------------------------------ TO OUR SPONSORS: Thank you for your response to the needs of so many children. We have been so blessed by your response. We are now receiving from the local pastors in the Philippines photos and information for the children who have been sponsored by you. That information is being entered and profiles created for each child. If you have not yet received information about your sponsored child, you will receive that information soon.
