Burundi – Mugisha Jean’s Story
My name is Mugisha Jean. Mugisha is a Kirundi word for “blessing.” My sister and I are orphans; we used to be Muslims. She got saved and brought me to church. I got saved too, and loved Sunday school. That day, on my way home, a truck ran me over…. The people who saw the accident said I was dead, but God saved me.
I was badly wounded on the face and legs though. On the hospital bed, I was impatient to go back to Sunday School. The following Sunday, I asked my sister to take me to church, but I was in such a bad shape.
Guess what! It’s the first time of my entire life to have a pastor! I kept sending him love messages! Our Muslim neighbors told my sister that I would die because I had abandoned Islam. But I knew I wouldn’t die. I kept telling Jesus that I know He would heal me. And I was right, HERE I AM, ALIVE IN JESUS!
The scar left by the tires doesn’t matter to me. Food used to be a struggle for us; but now, I can be sure to have one meal a day at the Church Feeding Program. Thank you Jesus!!!!
Help us support more children like Mugisha by partnering with us!

Cuba – Hurricane Victim Relief
God’s Perfect Timing Feeds Hurricane Victims
For years, Feeding The Nations has tried to reach Cuba with humanitarian aid. It has been a long journey, but earlier this year, we were finally able to send two 40-foot containers of food to the Western Baptist Convention in western Cuba. Little did we know that some of those provisions would be in place for immediate mobilization and distribution when Hurricane Sandy struck Cuba’s eastern coast.
The first two shipments of food that reached the country totaled 70,000 pounds of food. The first 40-foot container filled with breakfast product was shipped in June. The second container with 272,000 rice/vegetable meals was sent a month later. That second container had just cleared customs and was in the early stages of being distributed through various children’s programs when the hurricane made landfall in the eastern provinces. The Western Convention leadership who was distributing the food immediately sprung into action. Though the need was great where they were, they knew the victims needed the food even more. They filled two truckloads with food and traveled through the night from Havana to Santiago de Cuba, covering over 450 miles. Their efforts of selflessness are a shining example of God’s love and grace.
When the hurricane struck, FTN went to work immediately, securing 127 tons of emergency food, and arranging shipments for the distribution of the provisions. Some of this happened before Hurricane Sandy struck the eastern coast of the United States. On November 1, the first shipment of 272,000 rice/vegetable meals was sent to Cuba, followed by a shipment of 42,000 pounds of dried peaches and nectarines, on November 5, and another 272,000 rice/vegetable meals were sent November 7. The fourth shipment consisted of 43,000 pounds of dried vegetable soup mix that will produce 1 million bowls of soup and was sent November 13th. The fifth and sixth containers will ship in early to mid December.
We give praise to God for His perfect timing of having those rice/vegetable meals ready for distribution the moment Hurricane Sandy struck. We thank our partners who have made it possible to ship another 127 tons of emergency food. And we want to thank you. Your prayers and support make this all possible.
Burundi – November 2012 Update
November 7, 2012: Since the first shipment went so well our food partners at Feed My Starving Children would like to help FTN ship a second 40 foot container of rice and vegetable meals to Burundi. So on November 7, we will load 272,160 more meals in Minnesota. Feeding The Nations will pay all expenses in shipping and clearing.
