In 1971 Dr. Larry Ward was 50. He had served for years in Christian ministry and had dedicated his life to the poor.
He was a gifted writer, editor and photojournalist. But somehow, he felt that he needed to do more. He was at a crossroads in his life. He was frustrated by the massive loss of life he saw through his many travels.
In a time of intimate prayer he asked God, “I'm just one man, how can I help so many dying people?" He felt God’s clear response, "They die one at a time, you can help them one at a time". The response was enough to compel Ward to found a new charity focused on delivering Emergency Relief to the most desperate of situations. Food For The Hungry was born. Since 1971 Food For The Hungry has grow to become a global organization helping the most desperate people in the most desperate circumstances. They work in many countries around the world.
Dr. Ward, I admire you bro!
