Dear John,

In South Sudan it is not uncommon for children who have lost their parents to be forced onto the streets. Many times these children fall into gangs. Fighting among them is common.


One of our partners, Pastor John, runs a local ministry there. One day, Pastor John stumbled upon two opposing gangs of young boys. They were fighting each other with machetes. His heart broke at the sight, so he walked up to them and told them to stop.


“We’ll kill you instead!” they told him.


“Wait, just give me five minutes and listen,” he boldly responded.


He began talking to the boys about Jesus. As he spoke, they laid down their weapons. When he finished they asked him, “What do you have for us?”


Pastor John couldn't just leave the boys on the street. He fed them. Gave them a place to stay. And continued sharing about the hope of Jesus. That was only the beginning...


Today more than 340 orphaned children, who once lived on the streets of South Sudan, are served through the orphanage that he founded. Thanks to faithful partners like you, the children receive nourishing meals and other lifesaving aid. They also receive an education and vocational training while learning about God's love.


It costs just 30 cents to provide a meal for a child living in the toughest places on earth — and to give them the opportunity to hear about Jesus.

PROVIDE MEALS NOW


P.S. The picture above shows some of the orphans who are now benefiting from your generosity. The boxes are packed with nutritious meals that these boys do not take for granted. Thank you for your partnership that is transforming lives in the toughest places!
