“Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day.” – 2 Corinthians 4:16

Hope is greater. That is the story Feed My Starving Children embraced in 2018.

And this story is big.

It’s your voice, it’s FMSC’s voice – and most importantly – it’s the voices of children who are experiencing a greater hope because of food.

In 2017, we learned that hunger is on the rise. This increase has a direct correlation to conflict. Conflicts affect food security and are a cause of much of the recent increase in food insecurity, according to the FAO.

In some cases the root cause of the conflict is competition over natural resources, which are declining in some regions due to drought and extreme weather.

It's easy to be discouraged in the face of all of this. But we still have hope. We always have hope.

And this hope is greater than anything. It's greater than conflict. It’s greater than drought and famine and disease. It’s greater than earthquakes and hurricanes. It’s greater than poverty.

And it’s greater than hunger.

Thank you for believing this. Every time you put on a hairnet and pack meals or write a check or drop a quarter in a bucket, you are saying, "Yes. Hope IS greater."

What you do makes a difference. We need you more than ever as conflicts and natural disasters continue to wreak havoc in the lives of children around the world.
