Feed the Hungry Partners with Haiti Children & Mission Baptiste Jerusalem African Vision of Hope

Susie Krabacher became a partner of Feed the Hungry after appearing on The Harvest Show. She shared the stories of her work in Haiti with the mentally and physically handicapped children who are thrown away by their families.

Through the partnership, Susie and her ministry can care for the neediest children, building a bridge into the community to see these children as human despite their circumstances.

One of the places they work in is Cité Soleil, a slum run by various gangs. The ministry has spent a lot of time gaining the trust of the gangs in the city and are now protected by them.

The feeding program has allowed the ministry to build a bridge in the community. They can step in during crisis, including frequent earthquakes, hurricanes, and medical emergencies. The program has also allowed the ministry to plant churches throughout the country.

One of the most impactful moments in the ministry program in Haiti was during the recent 2021 earthquake. Susie and her team were helping clean up and care for the survivors and had the privilege to meet an 80-year-old woman. Susie learned that the woman had lost all of her belongings and had no one to care for her. After getting to know her and gaining her trust, Susie was able to share the Word of God with the woman.

Uncertainties surrounding safety and the economy, as well as political unrest, corruption, natural disasters, lack of respect for life, and extreme violence, are the main things Susie and her ministry face.

Hammes Kanondo, our partner in Zambia, has a long-term goal for his ministry: to see the children he reaches lift themselves and their families out of extreme poverty, impact their communities and country, and ultimately go beyond the borders of Zambia by sharing the life-changing Gospel of Christ.

He started by building Lukkomano Community School to educate the street children from the shanty towns around Mazabuka. Starting with 35 children, the school has now expanded to over 350 children.

Their first 7th-grade class prepared to pass their higher exams in 2023, which enabled children to progress to secondary school. By providing regular meals for the Lukkomano Community School, children were drawn in from the streets. They are not only being fed but also protected from the high risks of malnutrition, abuse and harm they could face daily. And, of course, they get an education.
