Feeding 5,000 Strategy -> Deep & Wide
Feeding 5,000 Strategy -> Deep & Wide

During last year’s Hands of Hope Gala in October, I outlined a five-point strategy for building our capacity to serve 5,000 children monthly, and to better position for ministry for the future.
The second of five strategies for Feeding 5,000, I outlined in 2022 was a Deep & Wide. A key aspect of what we do is based on our Field Partners who oversee our Mission Projects. In addition, we believe that it is important for us to go deeper with these partners to better equip them for the mission. Lastly, part of this strategy includes insuring that the care provided goes beyond providing for the children’s physical needs, but also spiritually equips them for life.
Today, we are now working in six countries in Africa and Asia, with 14 Mission Partners and GO! Teams, to provision care and by mobilizing the church in 17 distinct Mission Projects. This scale of our work has increased over 2022 along with the number of children impacted. We have also taken important measures to deepen our relationship with our Mission Partners and GO! Teams as we stretch our reach around the world.
This part of our strategy to increase our reach in the coming years, is important for the advancement of the Gospel and to lift up the next generation. We have progress her for this part of our Feeding 5,000 strategy but have rolled-out even bigger plans for this process for 2024.
Global Orphan Relief (GO) has been serving orphaned children since 2005. We have accomplished this work through local partners in each country that provides oversight and distribution of care. As of August, we impacted 16,094 orphan children in six countries -in Asia, Ethiopia, Kenya, South Sudan, and Zambia within our Home-based Care, Scholarship, Nutrition, and Church Mobilization Initiatives.
