A Man Called “Morris”

A Man Called “Morris”

by Brad Phillips
Every now and again, I like to rummage through some old pictures of PPF ministry activities and remember how good God has been to us through the years.

It is More Blessed to Give than to Receive

It is More Blessed to Give than to Receive

by Hagazi Kebede, PPF CFO/COO 
According to the IRS, Persecution Project Foundation is a non-profit, tax-exempt corporation. But the reality is that PPF is a network — a network of Christians united by the goal to engage in active compassion for the persecuted and the needy.
Every day, we receive letters from members of this network [...]

Feeding the Multitudes

Feeding the Multitudes

We prayed that God would meet the needs of the students and multiply the fish and loaves all over again. Our desire was to get enough food to provide for the children until their next shipment arrived… and God provided.
