Ava's Story

At 23 years old, I am grateful to say that I have graduated with a degree in agribusiness—something that is only possible because of the grace and faithfulness of Jesus. Looking back, I see how His hand guided me through every season of my college journey.

While my time in school wasn’t without outside and internal challenges, I don’t dwell on those hardships. Instead, I celebrate the way God used every step to strengthen my faith and prepare me for what’s ahead. In moments when I felt weak, Jesus showed Himself strong. When I faced uncertainty, He provided clarity and peace. What the enemy meant for harm, God turned into an opportunity to trust Him more deeply.

One of the clearest ways I saw His power was in the healing He brought into my life—physically, emotionally, and spiritually. What could have been seasons of defeat became testimonies of His goodness. Over and over again, Jesus proved that He is not just my sustainer, but my healer and provider.

Through these experiences, the Lord revealed a greater calling: Feed The 5 Thousand. This ministry is inspired by the miracle where Jesus fed thousands with only two fish and five loaves of bread. Just as He multiplied what was given to Him, I believe He will take this vision and use it to transform lives far beyond what I could imagine.

The mission of Feed The 5 Thousand is to help restore health and wholeness by offering nourishing foods and products that bring healing. But more than that, it’s about showing people the love of Jesus—that they are seen, valued, and cared for. My prayer is that this ministry becomes a vessel through which people encounter both physical restoration and the spiritual hope that only Christ provides.

I believe my college years were not just about earning a degree but about being equipped for this greater mission. Jesus has been faithful every step of the way, and I know He will continue to multiply what little I can bring to Him. My role is simply to surrender, trust, and follow His lead.

Together, with His guidance, we can build a healthier, more compassionate world—one that points people back to the true Bread of Life.
