Food + Water

In a world where basic necessities remain inaccessible to millions, Food & Water initiatives continue to serve as tangible expressions of God's love and provision. Scripture repeatedly uses bread, water, and harvest as powerful symbols of God's care—reminders that through Increase Christmas, we can become channels of that divine provision to communities facing scarcity.

The challenges facing our world’s most vulnerable populations have intensified—from war and widespread famine to devastating natural disasters and economic instability—all creating unprecedented food security crises. Access to clean water remains a critical issue, with marginalized communities affected by contamination and infrastructure failures. FOOD + WATER giving will continue to focus on community-led solutions that create lasting changes.

Through last year's giving to this category, countless lives were impacted around the world. In Southeast Asia, communities devastated by a 7.7 magnitude earthquake received critical support through our partner organizations. Trained volunteers have been equipped with portable water desalination units, transforming salt water into clean drinking water during disasters when safe water becomes scarce. At the same time, a new well now provides clean water to a Guatemalan community—each effort intentionally pointing people toward Jesus.

Your generosity through Increase Christmas creates lasting change, not just temporary relief. Your contributions to FOOD + WATER transform lives through food security and clean water and create pathways of evangelism and discipleship.
