At One More Child, we believe no child should go to bed hungry. That’s why we are committed to fighting child hunger not only in the U.S. but in vulnerable communities across five continents. Our global feeding programs are meeting urgent needs—and doing so much more.
In places like South Asia, where poverty is deeply rooted and daily meals are uncertain, the feeding program has become more than a source of nutrition. These meals are opening doors to hope, community, and spiritual transformation.
More Than a Meal: A Path to Hope
Every day, hundreds of children from diverse religious and cultural backgrounds gather at our ministry center, drawn by the promise of a warm, nourishing meal. Many come from families who have never heard the name of Jesus or experienced the genuine love of a Christian community. As they share food and hear stories of faith, they begin to feel something new: they feel seen, valued, and loved.
Our feeding programs slowly begin to break down walls of fear and misunderstanding. And our team doesn’t just serve food. Meeting physical needs, we serve dignity, compassion, and the Gospel through our actions. We build trust with families who may once have been hesitant to engage, but over time, hearts begin to open.
We have seen incredible change. Children who once bowed down to idols are now lifting their hands in worship to the one, true, living God. Families once closed to the message of Christ are now witnessing His love and transformative power at work in their sons and daughters, all beginning with a single meal.
Ishani’s Story: From Hunger to Healing
One such story is of Ishani*, a young girl from a non-Christian family whose life was touched not just by a daily meal but by the message of a Savior who answers prayer. When her mother fell critically ill, Ishani—still a new believer—prayed with tears and childlike faith. God answered and her mother was healed. Ishani’s testimony is now shining light into her home, praise God!
Our feeding program goes beyond ending hunger to building faith, shaping character, and planting seeds of eternal hope.
“For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, […] “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’ ” – Matthew 25:35,40 (NIV)
In God’s hands, a simple plate of rice can become a tool for transformation. One More Child’s feeding programs enable us to reach non-believing communities and to plant seeds of faith—one meal, one child, one family at a time.
