Where We Have Been & How Far We Have Come...-
Midweek Manna at First Baptist Church of Decatur
July 15, 2026 What a blessing! We were pleasantly surprised by the great turnout at Midweek Manna last night.
Pastor Justin White blessed the meal, and our amazing volunteers served sliced smoked pork, mac & cheese, green beans, garlic bread & Little Debbie snack cakes. The response was so incredible that we completely ran out of food!
We’ll be preparing even more when we return on July 29.
A special thank you to our event sponsor, Travel Masters NWA. Frank & Marsha are wonderful supporters of Feed My Sheep Squared & if you’ve never traveled with them on one of their bus trips, we highly recommend it!
Thank you to everyone who came—we can’t wait to see you again on July 29!

Monday Meals at Word of Life Ministries
July 13, 2026 Monday Meals was another reminder of how God provides through His people.
A special thank you to Amy Hodge for signing up & bringing an incredible team of servant-hearted volunteers from Ascend Church in Siloam Springs. Your willingness to serve with joy & compassion was a blessing to everyone.
We are also grateful to Ground Zero Construction for once again serving as our event sponsor. Your continued generosity makes these meals possible.
Tonight we had the privilege of serving 157 free meals featuring smoked sliced pork roast, macaroni & cheese, green beans, garlic bread & Little Debbie snack cakes. A special thank you to McKee Foods for generously providing the Little Debbie snack cakes, adding a sweet treat that brought smiles to so many.
Not every part of the evening went as planned. During meal preparation, the generator outlet in our mobile kitchen failed. Thankfully, Reece Pinkerton & David Goodman quickly diagnosed the problem & made a field repair, allowing us to continue serving without missing a beat.
Thank you to every volunteer, donor, sponsor & supporter who helps Feed My Sheep Squared fulfill our mission of feeding God’s sheep physically & spiritually. Every act of kindness makes a difference.
“And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord & not to men.” — Colossians 3:23
