Emergency Food Relief: A Timely Gift for Mercy Network Pastors Who Give So Much

At Children’s Hunger Fund, we see firsthand how pastors in our Mercy Network give so much of themselves while often struggling just as much as the communities they serve. When churches around the world closed during lockdowns, many pastors’ incomes simply disappeared, leaving them without the means to buy food or pay rent. By the grace of God, CHF was able to provide an emergency food relief grant to 663 international Mercy Network pastors and 26 Mercy Network Coordinators—a gift that, for many, was the first they had ever received. For Pastor Solomon of Fiche Addis Kidan Baptist Church in Ethiopia, this timely gift meant monthly food on the table and rent paid in the midst of soaring prices and widespread hardship. His words of praise to the Lord Jesus Christ remind us why we stand with pastors and church ministers in the very things they need most in this difficult time.

From Food Pak to Salon Owner: How the Local Church Is Sustaining Hope in Uganda

Rosie’s story shows how God is sustaining hope in Uganda through the local church and faithful partners. Once trapped in poverty, abuse, and hopelessness in Kawempe near the Kimombasa slum, she encountered Pastor Eddie and Bible Gospel Church Kawempe through a simple offering of food and the gospel, which led to a transformed life and a new career in hairdressing. Through the Uganda Mercy Network and Children’s Hunger Fund’s long-standing partnership since 2002, Rosie moved from receiving Food Paks to owning a salon and now joyfully delivers food and job training to other vulnerable women, multiplying hope in one of Kampala’s hardest places. As we at Children’s Hunger Fund continue delivering hope to suffering children by equipping local churches for gospel-centered mercy ministry, stories like Rosie’s remind us why the Mercy Center, Food Pak ministry, and our partners in Uganda matter so deeply.
