Transforming a Village - Feed The Hungry

Entire Families are given a Full Life, thanks to you!

With your support, our Every Child Every Day program in Nicaragua has been able to expand from feeding 19,551 kids at the beginning of this year to well over 31,000 children today! You’re making it possible for more and more children to have a nutritious meal and hear the Good News of Jesus.

Isaiah 54:2 tells us, “Enlarge the place of your tent, stretch your tent curtains wide…” , that’s exactly what you’re doing: enabling us to enlarge the tent and allowing more children to eat.

Bob Boucek, our director of operations, reminds us, “It’s hard to function when you’re hungry. It’s hard to be happy.” And with your support, local pastors can give free, nutritious meals to hungry children and their families while sharing the Gospel with them.

These are children like beautiful Milagro, whose story matches the meaning of her name, a “miracle”. Milagro is a disabled little girl who grew up in Bello Amanecer, an impoverished neighbourhood just outside of Nicaragua’s capital, Managua. Here, residents survive on what they can afford—often as little as one tortilla, a piece of bread, and a small bowl of rice for the day—which amounts to a dismal
$1.25 worth of food. When Pastor Henry, a local who partners with Feed The Hungry, came to Bello manecer, Milagro never left her house, didn’t walk, and spoke very little. But thanks to your support, Pastor Henry was able to feed Milagro and her family every day, while telling them about Jesus’ love.
Soon, her mother became a Christian. Then her dad, who had abandoned them, chose to follow Christ. He returned home, reunited with his family, and is being discipled by Pastor Henry!
Milagro is now happy. Now she smiles and talks, and can walk with the aid of a walker. Please pray with us that support would pour in so more children like Milagro can have a chance to live a full life and know Jesus. Thank you!
