Mission Trek: Africa

Children’s Hunger Fund

Jambo! Jesus told us to go to the ends of the earth to preach the gospel (Matthew 28:18–20) and to care for the hungry and thirsty (Matthew 25:34–40). And in the book of Proverbs, we read that those who are righteous notice and help those who are poor (Proverbs 29:7). So while we’re here in Africa, that’s just what we’re gonna do!

Answers VBS is partnering with Children’s Hunger Fund to provide meals for “Food Paks.” Local churches in a variety of African countries use these parcels of food to deliver the hope of the gospel to the homes of suffering children. Your kids can work together to raise funds for the meals that go in every Food Pak. And here’s the best part. Each meal costs only 25 cents! So for every dollar you raise, you provide four meals for hungry kids—and each meal represents an opportunity to proclaim the gospel message!
