This picture is special.

In 2024, Dusty handed out one of the very first plates of locally sourced beef to a child at a feeding center in Togo, Africa. What you see in this photo is more than a meal. It is the result of God's provision flowing through His people.

Dusty left for Africa today, and my devotional this morning was about generous giving. How perfect is God’s timing on sending me those words on a day like today?

As I've been asking for Meat the Need prayers and financial support for the children in Togo, the Lord reminded me of something important: everything we have comes from Him.

Our income, our health, our homes, our food, our opportunities, our ability to work—none of it is ultimately from our own strength. Every good gift is from the Lord.
When we give, we are not losing something that belongs to us. We are stewarding something that first belonged to God. We give so that He is glorified. We give so that children can hear the good news of Jesus. We give so that hungry children can be fed and know that hope is available to them through Christ.

The Gospel changes lives. A meal may fill a stomach for a day, but the hope found in Jesus changes eternity.

This child in the picture received a meal because people chose to give. He has heard the Gospel because people chose to give.

Hope reaches places it otherwise wouldn't because people choose to give.

Please know that all of your generosity helps put meals on plates, but more importantly, it helps share the hope of Christ with children who need Him.

All GLORY TO GOD! ❤️ Please continue praying 🙏 for Dusty as he makes this trip alone.

🚨 URGENT PRAYER & SUPPORT NEEDED

Dusty received a call from Africa. The beef supply at all 11 feeding centers is nearly gone.

For many of these children, the beef provided through Meat The Need is one of the most nutritious meals they receive. What started as a simple idea to provide protein has become a ministry that feeds children, shares the Gospel, and reminds them they are seen and loved by God.

Tomorrow, Dusty leaves for Africa to assess the needs, and help ensure these feeding centers can continue serving children. We are asking for two things:

🙏 Pray

* Pray for safe travels.
* Pray for provision.
* Pray for the children and leaders at each feeding center.
* Pray that God would continue to open doors for this ministry.

❤️ Give
Right now, we need to replenish the beef supply. Every gift helps provide protein for children who are depending on these meals.

You can give by:
📱 Scanning the QR code
📱 Text BEEF to 53555

This ministry exists because people like you choose to be part of the story. Together, we have already helped provide over 100,000 meals, and now we have another opportunity to respond.

“For He satisfies the thirsty and fills the hungry with good things.” — Psalm 107:8-9

Thank you for praying, giving, and standing with us as we work to feed children and share the hope of Jesus.
