Food for Helpless

We are an international Christian non-profit that helps train kids ministry leaders in many developing nations to better teach children about Christ. Most of them are desperately poor by American standards. But typically the only thing we are able to help with is training materials and sponsoring training events.

However, these nations (especially the African nations) are being hit extremely hard by the COVID-19 shutdowns. None of the news media in the USA are not talking about it at all. But their governments are being ruthless in their shutdown requirements, for beyond what is necessary.

My Ugandan leader who runs a public school for the very poorest of his people wrote me to say that most of the students were sent home to live with their parents. But there are 29 orphans who have no place to go, and he was out of food. We raised about $523 on Facebook. That lasted them about 2 weeks.

My Ghanian leader was asking for money for soap because the poor people in his area could never afford it and the government is insisting they wash their hands with soap. while my leader has enough food for his own family, most of his neighbors are going hungry.

I have a leader in Pakistan who runs a Christian church and school. But those who attend are very poor because they are Christians and the Islamic government reserves all the good-paying jobs for Muslims. So right now these Christian families have nowhere to go to get food. So Fiaz (he has other supporters besides us) has been handing out bags of rice and other staples. We want to help him as much as we can also.

I have a team of leaders in the Philippines that have had a lot of problems recently getting food because of the pandemic their church members cannot leave their houses to go to church, so there have been no offerings coming in. Someone recently gave them a huge allotment of rice, and so they parcelled it out to their church members.

I also have a Polish leader  who has ministered in Rwanda, only to discover the desperate situation they are in right now with no food. So she is trying to raise money to help them distribute food.

If you go to their individual Facebook pages you will see that each one of them Identify themselves as having worked at The School of Supernatural Childrens Ministry . They are first of all graduates of our school, but secondly, they are all directors for our ministry in their nations . 

We are going to distribute whatever comes in equally among these leaders. $5,000 is barely enough to meet the needs for a few weeks. I would love to see twice that amount of money coming in. I actually have two more leaders, one in Cameroon and a couple in Zambia that we would also like to help, but I don't have any pictures of them and food distribution.

Anything you can do to help would be greatly appreciated. We are keeping none of these funds for ourselves as this is a humanitarian need. But if you check out our ministry and believe it is something you would like to support, then we would ask that you go to our website and give http://kidsinministry.org/support/ because all the money that comes into this GoFundMe page will go to our leaders.

THANK ON BEHALF OF MY LEADERS!
