“We should spend our life passionately serving, not serving our passions.” – Chris Brady
The following Life on Life story was submitted by Life Member, Judy DeShon:
Life Members from Akron, Ohio helped feed thousands of starving children across the globe when they joined forces with Feed My Starving Children at Grace Church on May 31st, 2017.
Debi Hullinger, Life Member and coordinator of this Life on Life Initiative, reports that the group, including children who eagerly volunteered alongside their parents, packed 2,236 food packs in just two hours!
“It’s amazing what you can accomplish when you have a system!” Debi said with a wink. “The music helped a lot, too. The volume and tempo created a lively atmosphere, and the fact that we had teams that competed for the greatest number of boxes filled just fueled the excitement.”
Debi stated that Feed My Starving Children was a perfect fit with the Life Founder’s partner charity, All Grace Outreach. Feed My Starving Children’s mission statement reads:
As a Christian non-profit organization, Feed My Starving Children is called to feed God’s starving children hungry in body and spirit.
You will hear us say this again and again: “We want to reach everyone, until ALL are fed.” We truly mean this. This means reaching the hard-to-reach people and places, the “least of these.” They will be found, and they will be fed.
With God’s help we will work together with organizations and ministries across the globe to end hunger.
Food packs, called MannaPacks™, contain rice, soy, vegetables, and vitamins and are an excellent source of protein, carbohydrates and key nutrients culturally acceptable worldwide for anyone over the age of one.
In addition to their time, Life Members contributed their money which paid for 1,810 of the meals that will offer nourishment and hope to children who are suffering from severe malnutrition and are threatened with death from starvation.
Debi spoke for the entire Life group on Facebook as she reported to the world, “I am so pleased to be part of an organization that sees the value in this: Life on Life. Setting people free!”
“For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat.” – Matthew 25:35
Thank you to all of the Life Members who served in this Life on Life Initiative under the leadership of Bill and Keisha Lewis. Your efforts and contribution truly made a difference for the organization, Feed My Starving Children.

I first learned of this great project while visiting my friend’s Jim and Shannon’s church for Easter services. I thought then what a worthy cause for a Life on Life Initiative team event. Luckily Debi Hullinger thought the same and followed through.
Our organization’s motto has always been: Have Fun, Make Money, and Make a Difference. I’m honored to make a difference (and have fun) via our powerful community!

Wow, this is such an awesome ministry. I have a Facebook friend who is a Christian missionary who works at an orphanage in India. The children there are often hungry and have a lot of needs. I would like to pass her contact information along to Chris Swanson and the rest of the gang at Life on Life. Does anyone have any idea where I could send that information? Thank you!
