During JFM outreaches, nothing is more heartwarming than seeing young girls and boys greeting JFM with million-dollar smiles. Though they are often hungry when JFM first arrives, these children radiate joy and innocence that shine brighter than their circumstances.
The moment JFM comes into view, their faces light up with excitement. The smiles are priceless, filled with hope and gratitude. It’s as if, in that instant, the weight of their hunger fades away. Soon, JFM serves them snacks, and laughter fills the air, replacing the silence of empty stomachs.
The children’s playful energy and joy are infectious, and they constantly remind us that God’s provision goes beyond food. Every meal shared is also an opportunity to share the gospel. JFM brings them nourishment for the body and food for the soul. With each encounter, those million-dollar smiles are not just expressions of happiness but symbols of the love and hope that only Christ can offer.
Through JFM’s work, hunger is no more—and in its place, joy and laughter follow.
