CHILDREN'S HUNGER FUND
	Good Messengers Ministries needs evangelists to help with a local food outreach program. Children's Hunger Fund has been using the local churches to distribute food to people in need. There have been many people that are in need of this food --- more needs than workers!  Good Messengers Ministries will be partnering with a local Pastor who works directly with the Children's Hunger Fund,  to distribute food boxes to needy families.
Each box of food is  designed to feed a family of four for one week. Yet, we know the greater need is salvation coming to each home. A specially designed Bible study has been created to be used in each home visit.  Children's Hunger Fund is a non-profit organization designed to work  through local churches and desires that the church get into the homes to meet the needs of people and share the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Children's Hunger Fund does not distribute the food directly but works through the local church. Children's Hunger Fund seeks to alleviate the suffering of children by equipping God's Church to communicate the Gospel through effective compassion ministry. One of our members,  Pastor Mike Matiscik of Christian Fellowship Church is in charge of this "Special Ministry" opportunity.

Pastor Mike has a waiting list of people who have asked for food. For those interested, Pastor Mike will  train you and then continue to supply you with the food and names of  those in need.  The commitment is once a week for twelve to sixteen weeks.  You can work with one or more families depending upon your schedule. You can visit the homes at a mutually convenient time.

The Bible Study program is also very flexible to fit your abilities and background. During your training you can learn how to adapt the program to your Bible knowledge. Like any evangelistic opportunity, you will grow in your knowledge of God and His Word as you share the gospel.

Know this is hard work but also very rewarding work.  Sometimes the people are extremely grateful for the food, other times they are not. Sometimes the people want nothing to do with the Bible and will stop delivery.  Sometimes you will see poverty in abundance and it will disturb you. This work requires a person dedicated to prayer.

We require that two or three people go on every visit. If a third person goes, that person can remain in your vehicle to pray while the other team members are inside. We are looking for men and women who desire to reach the lost to be involved in this work. Those that have a compassion for the lost and for those in need will truly find a perfect ministry for themselves.

If you are interested in committing to this work, please contact 
Pastor Mike Matiscik  219-931-5177  | augedog@ameritech.net

Know we really need your help. We are praying for God to send us more workers.

Our prayer of faith then becomes a starting point for us to share our faith. In effect we begin by praying for the felt needs of people on the street, and then by the direction of the Holy Spirit move from their felt needs to their real need - giving their heart and life to Jesus! We begin with the temporal and move to the eternal.   CLICK HERE TO LEARN MORE ABOUT OUR PRAYER STATION MINISTRY OPPORTUNITIES!   We in no way use this ministry to promote or market for a particular church or organization. We do not use this ministry to accept donations or anything else but to pray with people and share Christ.         GOOD PERSON BOOTH MINISTRY Good Person Booth's at Fair's & Fest's can be VERY rewarding. We have found that this type of booth offers lots of opportunities to have conversations of the gospel with people. Most people do not find the booths to be offensive and many people are eager to find out if they are truly a "good person."    If this page doesn't help answer some of the questions you may have please feel free to send us a email and we will try and answer the question to the best of our ability...contact us here.
