New Mercy Network - Thailand |
 |
 |
 |
 After a year-and-a-half of prayer, exploratory trips, and relationship building, CHF and ministry partner Zoe International celebrated the January launch of a brand new Mercy Network in Thailand. Following an in-depth training for local pastors and ministry leaders, nine churches in the hill tribe areas will now be resourced for home delivery of Food Paks® to unbelieving neighbors in their villages.

 CHF’s Uganda Mercy Network has fed, discipled, and empowered families in impoverished communities for nearly five years. Following is the story of one woman’s journey from desperation to hope.
Robinah’s story is a fantastic example of the positive change that can happen in a life through the care of a local church. Abandoned by her husband, Robinah was left alone, without a job or skills, to provide for her seven children. “Feeding my children was an uphill task”, she said. “We resorted to having one meal per day.” Some days they did not eat at all. In desperation she tried to plant a small garden, but the harvest was too long in coming to bank their hopes on. “We needed a divine intervention for us to survive.”

 While CHF was rallying the emergency response for Haiti, we received communication from a church in a village east of Kathmandu, Nepal. The year-old church had been worshipping God together when a mob of ethnic religious leaders and their followers destroyed the cottage where the believers were meeting; physically beating them and running them out of their village. The mob threatened more violence if they ever gathered or spoke about Christ again.

As previously reported, people with albinism in Burundi are killed and oppressed out of superstition over their white skin. Through a local ministry (African Strategic Impact), Children’s Hunger Fund provides ongoing food relief to the threatened families. One man, a Muslim living with albinism, shared his surprise that a Christian church showed him compassion despite the differences in their beliefs. Please pray for our friends in Burundi as they provide for anyone who has need. |

 Recently, a small Chicago church heard God’s call to meet physical and spiritual needs in their suburban community. Like many churches in such neighborhoods, they were uncertain where to find and meet needy families, or if their help was even wanted.
Despite their uncertainty, the church stepped out in faith. Members asked local schools and other agencies to distribute information about their new Food Pak® ministry to families in need. Within days, people started calling to ask for help. Within weeks, each ministry team had several families to visit.
