Compassion for Malawi

by

Merry Christmas!

We thank the Lord for the blessing of you! Your giving and your compassion have given thousands of families food, clothing, shelter, baby items, and personal care items like soaps and shampoos.  

You’ve shared the love of Jesus through your compassion. “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only son… ” At Christmas, we remember again the incredible gift God gave the world, the gift of his son, Jesus, the Prince of Peace.

The world needs peace. The world needs hope and love. People need to know they are not forgotten that God loves them, that He has a future and a hope for them.  You’ve done that through your giving. Thank you.

We’re sending a container to Malawi this month. Can you help? I know it’s close to Christmas, I’m sure you’ve already made your list and checked it twice, but can you add one more to your Christmas list? The children of Malawi? We still need to raise over $7,000 to send this container. Can you help us today? The link to give is below. Thank you. My wife Diane and I and our family pray you and your family have a very blessed Christmas.

We Give Thanks

by

Thanksgiving is right around the corner! This is one of my favorite times of year, but I realize for many, this Thanksgiving season will be hard. There is so much happening in our world today domestically and overseas. We are watching tragedy unfold right before our eyes. Many people feel overwhelmed.


In times like these, we turn to God’s word for comfort and direction. Matthew 24:14 tells us, “This Gospel will be preached in the whole world, to all nations, then the end will come.” What do we do while we are waiting?

In Luke 19:11-26, Jesus told the parable of the talents divided to the servants. At the end of verse 13 Jesus simply says in His illustration, “Do business till I come.” Our time on earth is short. What do we do with the time given us?  Doing nothing, produces nothing.

We do the work the Lord has called us to. Humanity is suffering, our world is suffering, but we can give hope. The hope of the Gospel and the physical help of food and supplies shows that someone cares.

Because of your generous donations, Feeding the Nations has been able to send assistance to families displaced due to war in Ukraine. Your donations continue to provide hot meals, clothing, diapers, and groceries to families in need. Thank you!

Because of your generosity, families in Israel who have been devastated by war are being cared for. Thank you! Sadly, these heartbreaking situations are not over. Families in Ukraine still need help, families in Israel, the same. Your continued giving will continue to make a difference.

We have received an urgent request from Malawi. Crops this past season failed due to lack of rain. Prices for maize, the staple of their diet, have skyrocketed and the people are desperate. The rice meals they had are gone. Thankfully a container is on its way, but friend, this is not enough. We hope to send another container in December. Will you help? The shipping cost is over $10,000. Can you give today?

This time of Thanksgiving we are thankful for you. We’re so grateful for your prayers and support. Our prayer for you and your family is a peaceful blessed Thanksgiving season. God bless you for your heart of compassion and generosity.

Whoever is kind to the poor lends to the Lord, and He will reward them for what they have done. Proverbs 19:17

Help for Israel

by

The world watched stunned and horrified as early Saturday morning Israel came under violent attack. Hamas infiltrated Israel, killing civilians, burning homes, and taking hostages. Unspeakable crimes have been committed against innocent civilians. 

Voice of Judah Israel is distributing food and essentials to families affected in the south of Israel while also bringing food and personal equipment to IDF soldiers. In the words of Pastor Israel Pochtar, “Our war relief efforts are ongoing, and we are still trying to raise all the support we can to help provide for our dear soldiers, our sons, with meals and personal equipment while they are in the battlefield shielding the entire nation right now.” 

Can you donate today? 

The word tells us to “Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: May those who love you be secure. May there be peace within your walls and security within your citadels.” Psalm 122: 6-7 

Helping in Michiana

by

Feeding The Nations was blessed to donate newborn gifts to two Women’s Care Center locations in Michiana. These donated bags included onesies, wipes, bottles, changing pads and diapers. 

The Women’s Care Center provides pregnancy testing, ultrasounds, parenting classes, nutrition classes, mom and baby classes, all free of charge. They care for the Mother and the child. Every woman receives a self-care gift for herself at her ultrasound as well as something for baby. A community health worker is also available to assist with sign up for various services like WIC and SNAP, public housing and OB referrals. The WCC is a vital community outreach serving hundreds of families in the Michiana area. We were blessed to partner with them. Thank you for your donations to Feeding The Nations, you help make outreaches like this possible!

8.2 million Opportunities

by

Over 8.2 million refugees fleeing Ukraine have been recorded across Europe, while an estimated 8 million others have been displaced within the country. Approximately one-quarter of the country’s total population have left their homes.

We feel privileged to come alongside organizations like Heart to Heart and 2 The Nations and provide assistance to families fleeing violence.

Thank you for your compassion and donations. You make assisting refugees possible! 

Our Own Story

It all started on Sunday, December 26, 2004, when an earthquake in the Indian Ocean sparked a deadly tsunami that became one of the worst natural disasters in recorded history. The tsunami killed over 230,000 people in 14 nations. Seeing the great need and the opportunity to help, FTN was born in February 2005. Its very first mission was to get vital food and nutrition to those who were affected by the tsunami.

Nearly two decades later, FTN is still committed to sharing the love of God, while bringing the abundance of the developed world to those in critical need in the third world. FTN has reached 75 nations with over $100 million in total goods and services worldwide, including 150 million meals. [Read more here]
