Joy and I had the priviledge to assist with our supplemental feeding program while we were home. There have been a few changes to the program and it’s function.
Currently we have about 40 or so children in the “Supplemental” feeding program ages 2 to 5 yrs of age. We have been operating this type program for 4 yrs now and have seen many benefits from this ministry. Our desire though is to be more effective in this area and to do that, we need to be able to move from a “Supplemental” feeding type program to a daily feeding program for most of these children.
The children are malnurished in this area. The parents struggle to meet their own daily needs, let alone that of their children. We currently are able to provide a healthy meal for these children once a week. But for a feeding program to be truly effective and to see these children come out of the malnurished condition, this program needs to be a full-time daily basis.
One of HMMII’s goals for this coming year is to be able to increase the number of days we can feed these children. Our ultimate goal is to be able to provide daily feeding to these children and to have a staff that is paid and able to provide this service.
Please pray with us as we seek the Lord’s direction and leading in this area of ministry that HMMII is committed to continuing and establishing more.
