That is not just our tagline. It is where Reaching The Hungry began—long before it had a name.
Years ago, Pastor Carlos traveled to Africa and noticed something: many organizations were handing out aid without building relationships or creating lasting follow-through. That stayed with him long after he returned home.
So he and his wife, Lisa, began serving in the villages of Malawi. They started by teaching Farming God’s Way, helping families grow food and care for the land. From there, they began Talking Bible Listening Groups, creating space for people to hear and discuss God’s Word in their own villages and language.
That led to showing the Jesus Film in Chichewa, followed by the formation of Life Group Bible studies. Physical needs were being met, relationships were growing, and communities were discovering the hope of the gospel.
That is how Reaching The Hungry began—not with a five-year plan drawn up in an office, but with a response to the needs right in front of us.
We still build everything the same way today: meet the physical need first, and let it open the door for the gospel.
In word and deed, together, every time.
