'Bringing Hope to the hopeless'      

Our Goal is to Feed 100,000 Children Every Day!

"It all started when a lady from Baugio, Philippines who ran an orphanage, called with a plea for help. She had been a member of a local branch of an American church, " remembers Peter, "But when she married a local Filipino her church had cut her off. The church left the orphanage with no food, almost no water and absolutely no money to take care of the children."

"My dad received the call and without a second consideration, he said yes, he would assume the responsibilities of all the children."

"This was the middle of the night, so understandably my mom asked what the call was all about and he simply answered, 'we are now responsible for fifty children in the Philippines'. And that was the beginning of LeSEA's ministry to children."

Over the years, LeSEA has fed, clothed and educated literally millions of children. Dr Sumrall never lost his "soft spot" for children and in his final years wanted more than anything to reach out to those who could not protect themselves, could not care for themselves, nor feed themselves -- the children.

It is FTH's privilege at this time to reach out and touch children who are in need, whose only contact with the Christian community is through the ministries supported by FTH. Our goal is to provide the food resources for indigenous Christian ministries around the world to feed 100,000 children every day as they rescue and disciple these young lives. With your help, it can be done.

It's an opportunity to make a generational impact as we work with well-established ministries in Central America, Africa, and Asia -- because God's word will be taught and demonstrated before their very eyes. These children will see the love of God in word and in deed.

As FTH takes over the burden of the daily food requirements it will allow the orphanages to improve the quality of life for their wards, and increase their intake of abandoned children as Charlie Milbrodt shares:

"When Feed The Hungry approached us with the possibility of helping with our food budget for the children... I could hardly believe my ears. This has been our biggest challenge in the 12 years we have been ministering to the children in Thailand. We feed them one hot meal per day, and for many this is the only decent meal they get each day. More than 500 children are under our care: orphans, AIDS orphans, refugees, desperately poor families and so on. Our constraining factor has always been the funds to feed the children. If we have the natural food it will give us the opportunity to provide the children with spiritual food and an education to give them a secure future." -- Charlie Milbrodt, Living Word Ministries, Chaing Mai, Thailand

Steve Lazar from Mozambique shares one girl's story:

"Meet Lija, a 5yr old little girl who weighed 10kg when she came to us. Her mother having died from AIDS and her father long gone, she was suffering from malnutrition, AIDS, untreated TB, and a chest infection. She was a very sad and sick little girl when we accepted her into our dormitory. She was scared of the other children and extremely fragile."

"During the last month she has put on almost 2kg, her chest infection has healed, and she has been on TB medication for three weeks, but the most exciting thing to see is her changed demeanor."

"She is like a little ray of sunshine, happy, jovial, responsive, and she loves to play. The change in one month is so marked. It magnifies the fact that these children really just need the love of God, a sense of belonging, good food, and medical intervention - that's what we are about." -- Steve Lazar, Zimpeto Children's Center, Mozambique

The Every Child Every Day campaign is re-writing the life stories of children all over the globe...

"We began the year, 2005, with a goal to feed 1000 children each day for 12 months. That has already been accomplished. Now we are reaching towards 100,000 children. As God's people open their hearts and give towards this cause, we can feed more children in more regions of the world." explains Peter Sumrall. "As God's people, together we can feed every child, every day. They are our great legacy - our thrilling future."
