It’s my greatest privilege to share some exciting news! Through your support, we have cut the ribbon on the Hope Factory—a brand-new outreach that will change tens of thousands of lives in Zimbabwe.

The Hope Factory is a food manufacturing plant that will allow us to produce (rather than purchase the food from others) and store high-quality meals that are filled with 75% of a child’s daily nutritional needs. This new facility will be self-sustaining, allowing us to pay for the current expenses but also potentially expand to feed more kids, dig more water wells, and build more Classrooms of Hope (mobile classrooms that provide underprivileged children with an education, nutritious meals, and the Gospel message).

For over 20 years, we have been feeding children and sharing the Gospel in Zimbabwe schools. We currently feed over 50,000 children here each school day!

The Hope Factory will allow us to continue these efforts and reach out in even greater ways. It’s a project that’s been in the works for over two years, and to see it come to fruition is super exciting.

Recently, my brother, Dan, and I visited Zimbabwe, and we dedicated the new Hope Factory in Bulawayo. While there, we were also able to hear from several students who have benefited from our in-school feeding programs over the years. One is now a nurse, another a teacher, and yet another a social worker.

Partners, these are just some of the lives you are saving, and each one will go on to impact so many other lives. Please know that none of this is possible without your belief and trust in us. Thank you!

My prayer for each and every one of you is that your investment into Joyce Meyer Ministries will be returned to your lives many times over. We cannot do it without you!
