Our mission is to link the church of the First World with the church of the Third World  in a manner that helps both the materially poor  and the poor in spirit.

The materially poor served by local churches, clergy and lay leaders who have been empowered and supplied with goods by Food for the Poor.

The poor in spirit are renewed by their relationship with and service to the poor through our direct ministry of teaching, encouragement and prayer.

Ultimately, we seek to bring both beneficiaries  and recipients to a closer union with our Lord.
