HOT Testimony

NICM uses money from HOT to feed children
at a village school.

A missionary who uses Harvest of Talents funds wrote us expressing their thanks, 

"I want to express a big thank you to IDES for the funds you have granted. We are so blessed and we praise God for organizations like IDES who stand along side missionaries to provided needed resources. I would share with you how much the HOT program has meant to us over the past 2 years. During that time we have fed thousands of children, homeless families and lepers. It has opened more doors to the Gospel than I can ever tell you about.

NICM uses money from HOT to feed members of a local
leper community.

For example, the HOT program has given NICM the means to reach out to the people at two leper colonies and life there has improved in so many ways. At that time the only means lepers had to obtain food was by begging. Some days they would receive enough to buy a meal and somedays they they did not. Now, through the generosity of the HOT program enough rice is provided each month for one hot meal a day. Through this outreach, we have been able to share the Gospel and today many of the colony residents have accepted Christ as Savior. It is amazing how the love of Jesus, exhibited by the giving of a bag of rice in loving kindness has brought happiness where there once was none."
