Hope Begins With A Meal 

Every day, children around the world are denied hope due to poverty, a lack of dignity, and even abandonment. They merely survive outsite the margins of society’s care and concern—and they don’t know the true God who loves them.

Our solution as a Christian charity is to feed, evangelize, and disciple at-risk children around the world. We believe that the gospel of Jesus Christ changes everything!
