Sending hope to Darfur

FTH has an extraordinary opportunity to bring Christ’s love to persecuted children and families in the heart of Islamic Africa – because for every $2 we receive, we can deliver $15 worth of life-saving food!

PROJECT GOALS FTH has set a goal to send 5 massive containers of food into the Darfur region of Sudan. These 5 containers represent 100 tons of food or 1,300,000 meals. A Muslim businessman has offered to donate in-country trucking to help us get food to his countrymen.

Our project goal is to cover the shipping costs of these five containers. This effectively means for every $100 we receive, we can partner together and send $750 worth of food.

SUDAN BACKGROUND

In just four years, the horror of civil war: rape, torture, murder, and entire villages destroyed – has inflicted suffering on a staggering scale.

FTH has conducted multiple projects in this area and we’re ready to ship five more enormous containers of food – more than one million meals. You can help us answer an invitation to reach into this Muslim land with life-saving food, ministering hope and healing through the Gospel. Through a lifetime of pain, suffering and heartache the Sudanese people are looking for answers – and their hearts are open to the truth of Jesus Christ.
