Homeless Feeding
Every meal we serve is an opportunity to show God's love in a tangible way, offering not just physical nourishment but also spiritual comfort to the most vulnerable.
How it runs
Our team cooks and serves near the market. People gather under the trees, sit down and eat together. We serve first and preach second.

What we offer
As the ministry describes it
Cooking and serving
Food bought locally, cooked locally and served hot by people from the same city.
Teaching and prayer
Those who want to stay afterwards are taught and prayed with. Those who leave have still eaten.
Knowing people by name
The team knows the regulars. That relationship is often what opens the door to further help.
Onward referral
Where someone needs medical care or shelter beyond a meal, we connect them to partners who can give it.
Sponsor the work
Give to this campaign and your gift is restricted to the feeding programme. It does not go into the general fund.
Come and serve
Short-term teams visit the field. Tell us if you want to come and cook, serve or teach.
We serve every person with compassion and dignity. Meals and practical assistance are never conditioned on attending a service, listening to a message, praying, or sharing our Christian faith.
Other ministries
The rest of the work
