May 5, 2023

In “One Mother’s Mission,” Children’s Hunger Fund shares Phionah’s story, a widowed mother of six boys in Kageyo, Rwanda, whose parenting journey shows that raising children is not an easy job whether you live in a suburban neighborhood in Southern California or a mud hut in rural Rwanda. Through the faithful visits of Pastor Butare from New Life Bible Church, regular Food Paks, child sponsorship, and gospel-centered mercy ministry, this godly woman has been able to repair her home, send her children to school, and raise her sons to love the Lord while discovering that God can use even people you don’t know to deliver hope in seasons of deep need.

Unexpected Blessings during a Time of Great Need: How Emergency Food Relief Brought Hope to the Asiimwe Family in Rwanda

In the midst of lockdowns, these monthly visits showed families who often went to bed hungry that they are loved, respected, and not forgotten.
