Provision of Hope would like to introduce you to our partner Voice in the Wilderness. The collaboration between Provision of Hope and Voice in the Wilderness has been so helpful for supporting the Hidden Manna Children’s Ministry. Steven and Theresa Frey serve as missionaries with Voice in the Wilderness Ministries in Cd. Valles, Mexico. Steven has served in this field for more than 2 decades. Karen & David Barkman have been on mission trips with Steven and have met Cristina and Javier, the national pastors of this work in Cd. Valles and surrounding indigenous areas. They helped to build Javier’s church in Solidaridad. Karen and Steven are cousins and grew up doing mission work in Northern Ontario where Steven’s parents were missionaries. Provision of Hope Mexico has partnered with Voice in the Wilderness since 2017. This partnership started with Organic Farming, a sewing school, and a feeding center.
Today Provision of Hope focuses mostly on the Feeding Center as they reach out to more and more indigenous children. They disciple them and teach them how to have a deep relationship with Jesus Christ.
“Your ongoing generosity towards the Hidden Manna Children’s Ministry has made a tremendous difference in the lives of children and their parents, especially the mothers, in the squatters village of Buenos Aires.” says Cristina.
Their “flock,” as Steven & Theresa call the children, has grown significantly, now including many adults, primarily the children’s mothers. They provide not only nutritious meals but also spiritual nourishment. As a result, independent youth and adult churches have developed and are thriving at the facilities.

Provision of Hope is delighted to partner in this work! It’s making a significant impact on the lives of the children. We want to thank Pastor Fred Erb and the Listowel Community Church for the funding they provide through Provision of Hope. Thank you for all our donors who generously give! May God abundantly bless you!
