Feeding the Hungry for Jesus in Gambia
Your support of $30 a month helps feed and rescue children from danger and poverty, providing them with protection, love, care, and a solid foundation through hope in Christ.
Gambia is a source and destination country for sex trafficking, and boys in some Quranic schools are forced to beg in the streets. Nearly 80 percent of Gambian girls and women have suffered female genital mutilation, according to the World Health Organization.
Hunger and malnutrition create a self-sustaining barrier that keeps people stuck in poverty. Hunger makes it more difficult for a child to learn, work, pursue opportunities, and contribute to society.
A Small Contribution Can Go a Long Way
Our local Pastor Ronald Daye and indigenous ministry in Gambia is planting churches, educating and caring for needy children, and feeding hundreds of children weekly. They seek assistance for their approximately 300 young people. The number of hungry children increases every day in the communities in which they work, which is positively affecting families and improving the poor lives of these suffering children daily.
The ministry also requests help to establish a transportation project in a community where a missionary family is based, which will provide for the missionaries’ needs, help them build relationships, and provide the children with the entire community with an accessible means of getting to the center for food.
