Only 2 weeks until

the 2026 OTB Annual Gala!

I'm looking forward to an exciting night at the Westin Friday, October 2! Besides the beautiful venue, amazing food, live music, and exciting silent auction items, we'll get to hear our country directors share about the life-changing transformations that they are seeing in children's lives, and the progress each kitchen has made in 2026!

One of the beautiful stories is of Joshua in South Africa. His transformation is so radical that as I am writing this, he is on a live radio show in S. Africa telling people how VitaKidz changed his life. And we have stories like his from every country we serve in!

And just for fun, we are having a dessert tasting competition. Guess the secret ingredient in each of the 6 bite-size desserts to win a getaway for two!

Registration closes Sunday, September 27.

"Come and see what God has done!"

Psalm 66:5

Johan's new ride!

Thank you for giving so generously to bless our faithful partner, Johan Meiring with Touch Me Lord Ministries, in Lesotho. When his brother passed away 4 months ago, he was forced to sell his truck, which made his ability to continue feeding 10,000 children every week nearly impossible.

With his new truck from OTB, he has expanded his dream to feed 20,000 children every week! May God multiply his ministry and use him to give hope and a future to countless children in Lesotho. Thank you for being the answer to Johan's prayer!

How amazing does this 2018 Ford Ranger look with the OTB logo! And of course we made sure it was full of VitaKidz to take back to the children of Lesotho!

Prayers for Haiti

On Aug 23, a gang attack in Kenscoff, Haiti left 47 people dead and at least 50 people were kidnapped. The gang targeted a church and set multiple houses on fire.

Our OTB Haiti team is connected to some of the families who lost loved ones. Please join us in praying for comfort for the families affected, protection over our staff and their families, and God's blessing for their faithfulness as they continue feeding hungry children in Haiti.

Our Juárez delivery van is looking good!

We recently dressed up our delivery van at our OTB kitchen in Ciudad Juárez, Mexico! We love that as we deliver meals to ministries throughout the city, we get to proclaim scripture and make it clear why we do what we do. May we spur one another on toward love and good deeds!

May God bless you, and thank you for your generous support.
