Where We Have Been & How Far We Have Come...-
The Table at The Amp
September 1, 2026 What a blessing it was for Feed My Sheep Squared to be part of The Table’s welcoming event for John Brown University students at the AMP in Siloam Springs!
The Table, a ministry of Family Church of Siloam, meets with JBU students on Tuesday evenings. To kick off the new school year, they hosted The Table’s welcoming event & FMS´2; was honored to provide dinner before the evening began.
We served 139 meals to the students & were also blessed to share meals with some members of our local community experiencing homelessness.
We experienced some of the most polite & courteous young people you could ever hope to serve. It was a real blessing to see so many students come together to worship & praise God.
Thank you to The Table & Family Church of Siloam for allowing FMS² to be a small part of such a special evening!

Midweek Manna at First Baptist Church of Decatur
August 26, 2026 What a night at Midweek Manna!
August 26, 2026, will be a night we remember at Feed My Sheep Squared.
Tonight was the biggest night we have ever had at Midweek Manna! The town of Decatur showed up & together we served 90 meals.
We were even honored to serve Decatur’s finest when one of Decatur’s police officers stopped in for a meal. He enjoyed it so much, he told us he would be back!
One couple came for their second time & told us they would be back every time because of the delicious food, great fellowship, community & fun.
And to top it all off, we had more volunteers tonight than we have ever had at Midweek Manna!
This is what happens when a community comes together to serve one another.
God continues to bless Feed My Sheep Squared & we give Him all the glory!
“Serve one another in love.” — Galatians 5:13
Thank you, Decatur, for showing up. And thank you to every volunteer who gave their time to help Feed God’s sheep — physically & spiritually, with compassion, dignity & respect.
God is good!

Monday Meals at Word of Life Ministries
August 24, 2026 What a great evening at Word of Life Ministries for Monday Meals!
We had a great prep team with Pam Gauthier & Bob Utting helping prepare the vegetables & wrap the tortillas. Then, on site, David Goodman, Robin & Joyce Cowin & Kathy worked their magic in the mobile kitchen preparing chicken fajitas, charro beans, Spanish rice & all the extras that make a great meal.
We also want to recognize our hardworking FMS² Board. They don’t just sit around a table & make decisions — they show up, roll up their sleeves & work right alongside our volunteers. We are truly grateful for a board that leads by serving.
We were also blessed with an amazing volunteer team from Ascend Church! Every one of them came with a servant’s heart & we are so grateful for their willingness to serve.
A very special THANK YOU to the Jason Godsey Family for sponsoring this week’s events. This family has supported FMS² since the very beginning & we are truly grateful for their continued generosity & faithfulness.
Thank you to everyone who helped make tonight possible. This is what happens when people come together to feed God’s sheep physically & spiritually, with compassion, dignity & respect.
