The campus ministry of Food for the Hungry is focusing on three primary areas in relation to college campuses – university communities, campus ministries and student leaders - with one overarching prayer of transformation. In response to the God of all grace, we seek to be a resourceful catalyst for international social change. This is not something we can accomplish on our own. We are all in this together.
The best way to remember what we are doing is with the word TEAM.
Transformation – "to see change in form, appearance, nature or character."
We will see transformation occur when there is a physical and spiritual response to the amazing grace and love of God.

"A certain man…fell among robbers, and they stripped him and beat him, and went off leaving him half dead.“
But a certain Samaritan…came upon him and when he saw him, felt compassion, and came to him, and bandaged up his wounds…brought him to an inn, and took care of him. And on the next day he took out two denarii (2 Days Wages) and gave them to the innkeeper and said, 'Take care of him.'"
- Luke 10:30,33-35 NASB
