Below are just a few of the many testimonies we receive about lives being impacted and transformed by the Food Ministry of Heaven’s Family.
The Food Fund helps people who are desperate. Desperation can creep stealthily in, such as during a prolonged drought, come crashing in as a result of a flood, earthquake, typhoon or war, or infect generations due to endemic poverty. It also comes at the hands of evil men and women who steal the innocence of children to profit from their bodies in the modern, worldwide slave market for sex and labor.
Eight years ago, Pauline's parents were killed during Kenya's election violence, from which she still carries physical and emotional scars. There is some good news, however, because Pauline gave her heart to Jesus last year, and although she lives in Nairobi's indescribable Mathare slum, she attends a Christian school there. Each school day, she and over 500 other children receive milk to supplement their meager diets, thanks to Heaven's Family's Food Fund. The promise of daily body-strengthening milk helps motivate Pauline and all the other children to not miss a day of school. And better nutrition means better learning.
I thought at the time, some 15 years ago, that my daily radio broadcast was a failure. The church I was pioneering in Pittsburgh had paid thousands of dollars to buy months of airtime on our local Christian radio station. I taught for 15 minutes every day about repentance and true faith in Jesus. As a result, people were staying away from my church in droves. A few listeners even wrote the station manager, asking that my broadcast be canceled. I was "preaching a works gospel" they said.
It never ceases to amaze me. Just when I think there can't be a more difficult set of circumstances that poor believers live through year after year, God pulls back the curtain that surroun ds the Disneyland-like world in which I live. And then He introduces me to a few more among the "least of these" whose hardships I could not have imagined.
Cleophas Makona with sacks of beans and rice Dear Friends, Last summer the normal life-giving rains did not fall on the remote rural village of Saboti, Kenya. As a result, their bean crops—an important source of protein—withered. To make matters worse, torrential rains fell in […]
This was just the beginning… Yesterday we only had to drive 90 miles in our rented van, from Hakha, Chin State’s capital, to Khua Hrang (pronounced Qwaw-rawng), a remote village of 260 families. I knew we were in for trouble when, thirty miles from the […]
