Operation Food for Life

Operation Food for Life focuses primarily on meeting the physical and spiritual needs of the less fortunate in Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea. In these communities are many hundreds of families living in the most tragic of circumstances, below the poverty line.

The diverse programs undertaken by our volunteers include-

Feeding, clothing and providing spiritual support to a community of up to 500+ people living on and near a rubbish dump on the outskirts of Port Moresby.
Building the Born Free Sanctuary, which is an extension to the home of our PNG Directors so up to 40 neglected or abused children can have a proper home, pastoral care, schooling and after school learning centre.
Feeding patients dying of HIV/Aids or TB in hospital.
Regular Prison visitation. This includes feeding the prisoners on special occasions along with providing Christian DVD’s and spiritual support.
Regular visitation and feeding programs in various institutions for the physically and mentally challenged and the hearing impaired.
Building the Rob & Jan Patterson Literacy School in the village of Wildlife which provides free literacy schooling so children can go on to primary school.
Feeding and supporting a Care Centre for up to 35 disadvantaged children by resourcing learning materials for elementary teaching.
Feeding children living in poor conditions in settlements.

This is a brief snapshot of our compassionate and caring ministry, which can be summed up in our motto, “Our Passion is Compassion Witnessed by our Actions!”
