2017–2019 Mission Grant 1
Providing Food and the Gospel to Starving Children
Mothers in Haiti make mud pies and feed them to their starving children when they cry from hunger.
Christian volunteers in Haiti prepare Mercy Meals and serve them to the children in feeding lines.
Jesus gives the same command today, to feed the hungry, that He gave His disciples. Mercy Meals of Siouxland, a ministry of Faith Lutheran Church, Sioux City, Iowa, began packaging fortified rice/soy meals in 2012. Mercy Meals donates all packaged meals to Orphan Grain Train for transportation and delivery to Christian organizations in many countries, including India, Haiti, Romania, and Ecuador, as well as to Navajo reservations in the Southwest and Ysleta Mission in El Paso, Texas. Children and families receive food and hear the Gospel of Jesus Christ. An LWML grant will feed from 50,000 to 75,000 hungry children.
