The Big Meal

The BIG Meal for Christmas Day 2010

2010-10-14T13:11:00.000-07:00

Last Christmas Mission International's BIG meal supporters fed needy children on Christmas Day in Uganda, Burundi, Ghana, Kenya, India, Pakistan and Haiti. Reports were that each project had a wonderful day with much excitement and enjoyment. Christmas Day 2010 is now fast approaching and we would very much like to feed those children again this year and many more as funds allow. If you can contribute £3.00 per BIG meal then we can make sure the funds get to the various projects on time and that the many hungry children will again have an enjoyable day together on Christmas Day 2010.
The message of Christmas is a powerful one for children. The message that Jesus cares for them when they are in great need is a message that we in Mission International would like to bring to as many children as possible. This is the message you send when you provide a meal for a child, Jesus can use you to share His love with needy children this Christmas.

The BIG Meal Christmas 2009

Children throughout the developing world know little about our Christmases except perhaps in their dreams. If they have heard of Christmas at all then perhaps their view of it will be much closer to the nativity than what seems to be the 'meaning of Christmas' to those of us who live in one of the rich countries of the world.

To focus at all on Christmas however means that the brutal pangs of hunger have to subside for a while. Mission Internatioal's The BIG Meal is designed to do just that. Needy, hungry children are provided with a very special Christmas Day meal and as they eat it are told of the Love God has for them and have explained to them the real meaning of Christms, that there is a loving God who cares for them and who will be with them through even the most difficult circumstances.

For £3.00 per child a BIG Meal can be provided on Christmas Day allowing those who receive the meals to enjoy a special time on a very special day.

Pastor Thanks donors for the BIG Meal Christmas 2008.
A Ugandan pastor has written a thank you letter to Pastor Emmanuel Sunday the coordinator of The Big Meal. As you will see from the letter and pictures below the children were very happy to be provided with a meal at Christmas time.

Children arrived at church and were given food in celebration of Christmas.

Little GEMs:

Christmas 2008 will be a special time for more children than ever if Mission International's BIG Meal is able to raise the money to provide a Christmas Day dinner for needy children. Up till now children in Africa were the only beneficiaries of the BIG Meal but this year GEM (Gideon Evangelical Ministries) has teamed up with Mission International to provide meals for children and families affected by leprosy. Leprosy is a treatable disease but still there are many who are affected and India has a high number suffering from this terrible disease. Our desire is to make one day a very special day for these children and families. Christmas day will see them receive a very special meal and in that a message that someone at least cares for them.

Preparing for Christmas already?

It wont be long in coming round!

We hope to make Christmas 2008 the best Christmas ever for some of the world's poorest children. Food prices are rocketing and this makes it more likely that kids will suffer, being the most vulnerable in our world. Now is the time to act! Mission International is beginning some fundraising activities now to help kids who are hungry. Mission International's BIG MEAL is part of our Mighty Meals initiative and we are continually looking for supporters to make sure hungry children are fed all year round but more especially at Christmas time.

Here are some hungry kids in Burundi eating their Christmas dinner in 2007. This year we can do so much more. If you can organise a fundraiser in your area and find some resources to help Mighty Meals' BIG MEAL we would love to have your support, making Christmas a wonderful time for many more children in the developing world.

The Big Meal 2008

Christmas 2008!

Well let me be the first to mention it. "Oh no!" I hear you cry. Well the reason for discussing Christmas in May is to help us be prepared in advance of the big day when Mission International's Mighty Meals initiative provides a BIG MEAL for children in some of the world's poorest communities on Christmas Day. Christmas is such a special time for us in the western world but it has become so commercialised that we often forget in the rush to find gifts for friends and family that there are 16 million children in our world who will die due to lack of food every year. Mighty Meals' BIG MEAL is designed to bring an extra special meal to hungry children as they too recognise the importance of Christmas. When food is available to poor children it can be very basic and lack the nourishment required to allow them to grow healthily. Poor quality rice, corn porridge or the like can only sustain a child for so long. The BIG MEAL will give a high energy and high protein meal necessary for the children's health. To donate to the Big Meal visit http://www.mission-international.org/ and look for the Mighty Meals page.

The Hope Centre Children enjoy a Big Meal on Christmas Day. These children are all orphaned as a result of Burundi's 13 year war recently come to an end.

A bottle of soda is a real treat and the kids enjoy a really special day remembering the real meaning of Christmas.
