The children receive...

Look at the serious look on this little child's face.  The lines are  concerning on this baby's face. Highly unusual to see so much swelling.... my heart goes out to this child.  My love is in his little hands....in the form of nutritious food and gifts of care.

Such serious looks.... they handle their gifts with reverent respect....Moms Against Hunger will lift the heavy burdens of children as much as we can.  No child should have to suffer for the lack of their basic needs being met.

 

'Hold on to this and take it home with you'.... his little hands grip tightly his care package and he will be sure to carefully hold it.  No African child will drop, or forget, or get distracted enough to leave his or her packet somewhere. The value to human life is too important.  A hungry child suffers pangs day and night and hunger is paramount to assuage somehow.  

 

To receive food AND items of loving care such as lotion, soap, shoes, clothing, and toys is an incredible  gift of enormous value to all children and their parents.

Will you help on the next shipment we ship out to hungry children? You can give right here on this site to Moms Against Hunger.

Mothers and Babies are fed first

The first ones that will be receiving food are nursing mothers with little ones. 

 

This mother is given enough food for 24 meals.... with water she will make this stretch as far as she can. Look at her expression.... it's fierce.  she has been doing everything in her power to keep her children fed.  The strong survive.

 

Waiting quietly in line, eyes lowered she hopes and prays that she gets the same amount as the women in front of her.  'Please don't run out before I get some for my baby'

 

The leaders will give packets to each  mom.  God please make  this food  multiply.

 

The pastor watches carefully from the background.  Look at the grass fence - this nutritious food is  being given to the people  in an African village. It's packed with vitamins and minerals, protein and vegetables that are so needed.

Moms Against Hunger - out in the field

The rejoicing!  The thankfulness!  The gratitude!  With anticipation distribution begins and people began to gather.

 

Pat Bismark - the pastor's wife from Bulawayo starts showing the African women how to cook the food.

 

Speaking some Shona, some Indbele, Moms Against Hunger makes an impact in the countryside of Zimbabwe.  Oh..... how I wish I was standing there with these two!

 

Pastors discuss the best way to get the food to the many people in their villages back home.

 

Notice the Bible in the young man's hand, standing there with the responsibility of actually feeding the people - they all understand the grave serious situation of getting the food safely and quickly to the masses. This is a commodity that gangs would kill for - hungry people do desperate things. 

While you are reading this ..... food is being given to the masses. Please stop and pray for Moms Against Hunger and the work that is being done. Can you help me?

The Boy without a Voice

Prayer was offered for anyone who wanted to be prayed for at the Christmas Backpack Giveaway.  And an amazing miracle happened.....

A foster mom taking care of a young boy came forward for prayer with him.  Telling that this boy had not spoken since he witnessed the death of his father at a younger age.  Apparently the father had died in his little boys arms, and the child had never spoken a word since.  The shock of this terrible loss literally took his voice away. And being moved from foster parents to different ones often, has taken it's toll on him, and his lack of speech became compounded with many issues.  Silence became his world and he withdrew emotionally from everyone.

 

He is the tall boy with the striped shirt on....

Right out on the parking lot, hands were laid on this boy and prayer was given over him. And the person praying for him began to command him to say 'yes'.  I was standing in the back of the crowd... and we all heard this boy began to shout the word 'yes'.  Over and over!!!She then started commanding him to say 'Jesus' .... he did! 

It was only afterwords that hearing the complete story that the miracle became apparent as to what had happened. 

We captured a tiny part of this miracle on video - not knowing what was happening.  It will be posted shortly.... 

God is real... a Christmas miracle for a boy who has lost his family due to violence..... now has a voice again.

 

The Backpack Christmas Giveaway

The joy of Christmas is having the ability to share good things with those less fortunate. 

 

Moms Against Hunger was ask to provide for Christmas for an apartment complex that suffers from 78% Aids, as well as drug addiction, gang violence and all sorts of crime. Single moms who live here are trapped by poverty, poor education and the cycle of circumstances beyond their control. 

 

A small team from NL went with me into this apartment complex. Pastor Matthew had a team there ready to help... he brought tables, bright happy music and chairs.  They also served a lunch to everyone who came.

 

Pink backpacks for girls and Red/Black ones for the boys.  Each one had books, a Bible, and toys/stuffed animals inside. Along with Moms Against Hunger food each backpack was filled with love and prayer and given out to each child.

 

 

 

If I could have hugged each woman and talked with each one I would have!!

The eyes of single moms says it all..... their gratitude was touching.

 

Matthew Bismark the coordinator of this event, wants an interview to talk about Moms Against Hunger and our vision for nutritional food for the needy.

 

And we interviewed a couple of men who were watching all that was happening from the sideline.  They were curious as to why we would bring food to THIS area. Hard eyes watched us walk the entire complex praying for every family who lives here. No one touched us, but we touched all of them.  To God be the Glory.

 

Pastor Chris, is the minister in this area who will reap the harvest from the acts of kindness done today. More later....

Getting Ready for a Moms Against Hunger Christmas Neighborhood Giveaway

I needed some help getting final details together for a big Christmas Giveaway this Saturday.  Here is what happened..... 

Lively Hope Children's Home

Yesterday was pure joy!  It was time to fill the baskets with toys and stuffed animals.... books and goodies for the Orphanage in Mexico.  Missionaries Billie and Willeta Boren were here and my oh my it ws fun.  The Lively Hope Children's Home is going to be blessed today.

 

Games and puzzles, art projects and dolls are sure to thrill the hearts of lonely children without their parents.

 

It fills my heart with joy to know that little children's eyes that are full of suffering are going to light up when a darling stuffed animal is put in their arms.  I can see them now hugging
'theirs'. And their little arms holding tightly to something that is truly theirs.

 

Leave this basket here and let's go fill another one! I explained to the customers waiting to check out their purchases, 'this is what you are supporting when you shop here'. Everyone was happy to wait a moment, and it was good to let them see RMA in action for themselves.  No one got in a hurry - there were 5 people lined up to check out - and they were thrilled to actually witness the gifts going out the door to the Orphanage. 

 

Perfect!  Looking for ways to help them learn English, we find 'Hooked on Phonics'.  A complete set of books and videos to teach children with. 

 

Garbage bags are filled with delights for kids.  And wrapping paper to complete the surprises on Christmas for each child.

 

Last time they were here, they needed 9 toilets for the new wing built on the Orphanage.  Now here are the toilet seats needed!  Perfect completion. Take an extra one just in case.

 

The truck is loaded down with blessings aplenty!  With  hugs and smiles we said goodbye.  To tell you the truth..... I would rather do this than anything else in life! It's so much fun.

CBC Instructors - you can be one!

My prayers today are for the men and women enrolled in our Community Bible College.  Each of them from 43+ States send us their exams from the different  studies  we provide in the Bible.  Every day letters flow in, awaiting our Instructors to grade their papers and return them.  Men and women who are incarcerated are being taught  day by day, one by one. 

It's an wonderful ministry that many believers from different states serve as Instructors along with us.  We email the inmates exam to an Instructor - it gets graded and emailed back to us.  It then is printed off in the CBC offices by the staff and mailed back to the student.

It's such an important ministry... would you like to be a Instructor?  Email me today!!!

Really..... why not pray about ministering to someone who really could use your help!

Have you every wondered how you could use your talents for God?  Here is your chance to really help change a life.   Email me and I will give you all the details about how to be a part of this most valuable school.
