Easter Hope

by

It’s Holy Week. Easter is coming! The hope of the resurrection is on the horizon!

His followers thought it was over. The disciples were scared and hurting. They didn’t know Sunday was coming.

Maybe you are in a dark season. Take heart, friends, Sunday is coming. The King of Kings and Lord of Lords, our risen Savior, was victorious over sin and death, and we can live in the victory He already paid the price for.

Many people around the world haven’t received the hope of the resurrection. They haven’t heard the good news. Will you help us tell them? In Matthew, Jesus tells his disciples to ‘go and make disciples of all nations.’ We partner with churches and missionaries all over the world, sending life-giving food and needed supplies to outreach to the lost and hurting, to share the love of Christ with those in need. We want to help missionaries and pastors make disciples. People need to hear the good news. Jesus is alive and He loves them! He has a plan and purpose for their life. Will you help?

We have a container on the way to Cuba right now. Please pray for this food to be a blessing to the brothers and sisters suffering in Cuba, and to also open hearts to the good news of Jesus. There are so many in need. We have opportunities all over the world and right here in the U.S. to come alongside families and share the hope of Jesus. Will you partner with us?

Thank you. We pray your Easter week is filled with the knowledge of Jesus’ immeasurable love for you. We’re praying you and your family have a blessed Easter. He is risen indeed!

Empty Bellies have no Ears

by

As 2024 comes to a close, there is still time to make an impact with year-end giving. Thank you for what you’ve sown this year. Thousands of families were impacted, thousands of lives were changed, hope was restored, and the love of Christ shared.

We’re looking forward to even more missions in 2025 and we need your continued partnership. We’ve already had requests from Malawi, Sudan, Israel and Ukraine—places where there is famine, starvation, political unrest, and war. Will you help us reach the lost, hurting, and hungry with the hope of the Gospel and the tangible love of God felt through food? A wise African leader once told me, “Empty bellies have no ears.” How true that statement is. But, when we give food, we can come alongside God’s people who are there, on the ground, sharing the Good News of the Gospel, the Hope of Christ. Will you join us?

My wife, Diane and I and our staff here at Feeding The Nations thank you. We pray your 2025 is overflowing with the goodness of God. Bless you.

Yours for the hungry,

Steve and Diane

Peace on Earth

Jesus said “Peace be unto you.” Luke 24:36 

Jesus said “Peace be unto you.” Luke 24:36 

What a time we’re living in! Try to find a place on the earth where nothing is happening. You can’t! It seems like peace cannot be found.  

I know in the States many are struggling financially. When it’s hard here, it’s difficult to imagine how bad it is for the rest of the world. But friends, if it’s hard here, it’s hard everywhere.  

Jesus, the Prince of Peace, came to this earth so we could know the Father’s love. So we can have love, joy, hope and peace. He asks us to share those gifts with others.  

The picture above was taken by me in Jerusalem at the Garden Tomb. Not far from where this picture was taken, Pastor Israel Pochtar and Voice of Judah Israel are helping families facing food insecurity, Holocaust survivors lacking basic needs, and people affected by the ongoing war with Hamas. Can you help them this Christmas? In addition to giving in Israel, we’re sending food and supplies to other nations around the world. We’re excited to share stories in 2025 with you of the impact your giving made around the world.  

We pray you and your family have a blessed Christmas. Remember, the words of Isaiah, “For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.”  We can be at peace, even when the world is in chaos. Jesus is our peace. He is our hope. With your giving, we can share His hope with others.  

Merry Christmas and may God richly bless you, 

Steve and Diane Sumrall

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]
