When a food programme in a squatter area in Manila recently closed its doors, staff at Jigsaw Kids Ministries felt they needed to stand in the gap for the hundreds of starving children.
“But it seemed such a big undertaking,” said mission partner Tim Lee, founder of Jigsaw, which already provides food for hundreds of children in Manila.
“Trusting fully in God,” Tim said that within a few weeks, he and the Jigsaw staff bought the necessary equipment and put people in place to provide hot meals for local children ages 0-16. In the first week, more than 200 children showed up needing food.
Tim says, “At present, we are serving three hot, nutritious meals a week. We are seeing God’s miracle of the five loaves and two fishes daily. Jigsaw rarely has sufficient funds in advance to cover its food budget, yet each week God provides enough from gifts that are given.”
Jigsaw was started six years ago, with Tim and his wife Kate buying plates of rice for 12
children. Today Jigsaw operates four centres for street children. In addition to food, Jigsaw provides shelter, education and love for more than 1,700 children.
