In 2020, we felt God was calling us away from our corporate careers to a new unknown, uncharted, unfinanced, life of full-time ministry. Upon leaving our jobs, selling our house and belongings, we left for Nairobi, Kenya in June of 2021, to start our ministry journey. Not really knowing the full scope of our journey, we were connected with Mwamko Children\u2019s Center located in the slum of Soweto, and this is where our ministry really began. Being surrounded by so many needs, the thought of even trying to meet a portion of them quickly became overwhelming and left us feeling helpless. We knew we couldn\u2019t meet them all, but we knew we had to do something. Our motto became \u201cif you can\u2019t do it all, do what you can\u201d. It was through these feelings and experiences that God began to show us areas where we could best help. So, through much prayer, counsel, trial and error, experience and redirection, our mission is clear. We want to reach as many vulnerable children as we can, and our community feeding program is the best way for us to do that. We hope that you will partner with us as we do our part to fight child hunger and spread the saving message of Jesus Christ.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A LIFELINE OF HELP AND HOPEA LIFELINE OF HELP AND HOPEA LIFELINE OF HELP AND HOPEBe the Need is a faith-based, nonprofit organization that exists to be a lifeline of help and hope to those living in extreme poverty.
