What happens when the lifeline of federal funding to international aid organizations suddenly gets cut? And how can generous Christians step in to fill the gap? NCF’s CEO Kendra VanderMeulen sat down with Edgar Sandoval, CEO of World Vision, to talk about federal funding cuts and their impact, not only internationally, but also at home.
Global communities lacking access to food and clean water are hard hit by recent cuts. But it’s not only them. Funding cuts also impact American farmers, truckers, port workers, and others who form the supply chain for that aid, resulting in 60,000 U.S. jobs lost. Watch as Kendra and Edgar explore how charities and givers alike can navigate these increasingly complex challenges. Their insider perspective breaks down what’s really at stake when international humanitarian supply chains begin to collapse.
Adapting to these new realities will take wisdom, agility, and a deep commitment to serve the world’s most vulnerable. Kendra and Edgar discuss how the two organizations are continuing to work to help Christians discern how they can step in to show Christ’s love and care for others. “Remember, it was God’s work before governments got involved, and it will be God’s work no matter what,” Kendra says. “It’s not about government money. It’s about the kingdom.”
And as crises increase, Edgar says, “My prayer is that our calling will increase also.”
