Haiti – August 2011 Update

Afghanistan – August 2011 Update
We serve a big God and He is more than enough to provide when we ask. When Feeding The Nations (FTN) was contacted by Lamia Afghan Foundation (LAF) about helping supply food in Afghanistan, FTN did not hesitate but wanted to cover every base. This was important to insure that our first shipment of 60,000 meals arrived safely and the food was distributed to the needy. What a great success it was! From the donation of food, to the transportation and the distribution in Afghanistan, in all areas of concern, there were no problems.
A thank you letter written by the Lamia Afghan Foundation, they asked FTN to consider sending more food before the harsh winter arrived. Since everything went so well in the first outreach, FTN decided to move forward and this time increase the total number of meals. Impact Lives did not hesitate and agreed to provide 285,000 rice/vegetable meals for Afghanistan. With the help of LAF founder Lt. Gen. USAF (Ret.) John Bradley, an application for the Denton program was submitted and approved very quickly. On August 1, the meals were delivered to the 27th Aerial Port Squadron located in Minneapolis, MN for airlift support to Afghanistan. This food will be sent to two different areas with 50% going to Kabul and 50% going to Shindad.
Honduras – July 2011 Update
July 2011 Update:
FTN partnered with For His Kingdom Ministries in helping to reach the Tolupan tribe. The Tolupan are very difficult to reach, so missionaries and aid groups generally overlook them.
The Tolupan tribe retreated to the forest interior of the country when the Spanish conquistadors began killing them and they have been there ever since. The rugged, mountainous terrain makes life in this area very difficult.
The 40ft container was shipped to Tegucigalpa with 271,000 rice/vegetable meals to be distributed as follows: 65% will go to 150 Tolupan children and roughly 200 Tolupan adults. 35% will help feed 200 children in Nueva Suyapa and 100 children in Mateo.
The horse will carry about 2,000 meals each trip, walking several hours up the mountainous terrain to reach the Tolupan people.
First and foremost along with the food will come preaching, teaching, house-to-house visitation and prayer.
Zambia – July 2011 Update
Praise God! The 924,000 bowls of vegetable soup arrived in Lusaka, Zambia on July 15th. This 40 foot container was cleared and off-loaded into our secured compound for distribution. The 6,200 children in 17 orphanages and Christian schools that we currently assist will have hot meals.
