"During my visit to India in 2015 I saw a fiercely faithful group of Christians worshiping their God despite being persecuted. This has continued to encourage me after returning home. I saw a strong group of people that faced adversity every day; with some being forbade to use public wells and facing inter-family strife for their belief in God. I saw Christianity transcend the language barrier as we all sat around singing praises in our native tongues. And I saw the incredible generosity of our brothers and sisters in Christ when they welcomed me into their homes and gave me the food from their tables. I continue to work for the support of these people because I feel called to offer my time so that they may continue to hear the Gospel."

Jacob Lueck | Secretary

As the Secretary of Five Loaves Two Fish, Jacob has been instrumental in the founding and administration of this organization. Jacob is a  Biomedical Engineer from Maryland and works for a medical device company in Michigan. Prior to his engineering studies, he taught English in Puri, India and felt called to serve this area of the world.

"I volunteer with Five Loaves because I have seen children and families take advantage of opportunities such as a strong education or the micro-business program and leverage those opportunities to witness the gospel. Engaging with some of our Indian team members on a weekly basis continues to encourage me, even when the news isn't always the best. Because of the tireless efforts of many dedicated people in Puri and Konark, India, countless more will be able to fund microbusinesses, support ministries, and go to school for the first time and learn English. I am blessed to be a small part of this wonderful ministry."

Paul Foss | Treasurer

As the Treasurer of Five Loaves, Paul provides numerous years of experience as the CEO of Waterboyz for Jesus ministry. Paul's several trips to visit the team in India, and track-record for evangelizing to spread the Waterboyz ministry across several continents are invaluable for steering Five Loaves activities. 

"I reread the story of the little boy who had five loaves and two fish. I imagine his mother saying to him 'you're not leaving this house without something to eat for lunch!' Little did he know that he would be part of a story being told 2000 years later.

We all want to be part of something in our lives that will be worth telling 2000 years from now. 

Five Loaves Two Fish meets people at their point of felt need and changes their lives and their family's lives legacy.

Imagine with me hundreds of families able to provide food for their children and a roof over their family's heads. Imagine the hundreds of children learning English and being educated in a way that positively shifts the trajectory of their lives. I work with Five Loaves Two Fish because I believe in that vision.

Join us in helping write that story!"
