Global Missions

At St. Paul, a motivating value is to live out our faith as everyday disciples and making disciples where we live, work, and play. We are fully committed to seeing the Gospel spread, not only in our local communities but throughout the world. That's why we're supporting the work of global mission partners, and it's why we go and serve, as well.

Feed My Starving Children (FMSC) believes hope starts with food. As a Christian nonprofit, FMSC is dedicated to seeing every child whole in body and spirit. FMSC works with food distribution partners that stay with communities for the long haul, empowering them to move from relief to development. FMSC meals are developed by food science and nutrition professionals to supplement nutritional needs and reduce problems with malnutrition. Nutrition allows children to grow, thrive and develop to their full potential.

The impact of FMSC's mission is far-reaching. Their work not only impacts children and communities in desperate need but it impacts the hearts and lives of FMSC volunteers and donors. 

Over 8 years, nearly 10,000 St. Paul volunteers have packed over 1,000,000 meals at a cost of over $250,000, which means that nearly 3,000 kids have been supplied a nutritious meal for one year through St. Paul's partnership with FMSC. This year's MOBILEPACK will be February 24 & 25, 2023. Come participate with his.

Join St. Paul Lutheran Church on February 20, 21, 22 for our Feed My Starving Children Mobile Packing Event!

Water to Thrive is a Christian non-profit founded in 2008 as a result of a small group of Gospel-inspired Christians motivated to act as a result of the global water crisis. Since Dick Moeller founded Water to Thrive, over 1,200 clean water wells have improved the lives of more than 600,000 people.

Through prayer and financial support, the St. Paul community has funded more than 45 wells in rural, impoverished African communities. 

Each $5,000 well serves more than 500 people for 20 years!

Ione and Dr. John Podgore (pictured below, bottom left), long-time members of St. Paul, put their faith into action in Malawi, which is among the poorest and most underserved African countries.

Ione, founder of Chikondi Malawi, and her husband John, a pediatric infectious disease specialist, had their first encounter with “the warm heart of Africa” in 2005 during a year-long engagement with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Malawi. They became caught up in the spirit and warmth of the people of this small, gentle nation. Chikondi Malawi provides an expression of God's love for all; most especially, hope.

What began as a gospel-motivated feeding center for poverty-stricken orphans now offers a range of much-needed food and relief aid, plus farming development assistance to seven rural villages near the capital city of Lilongwe.

The St. Paul community supports Chikondi Malawi through prayer, financial partnership, and volunteers.
