Founding and Early Vision
Supply and Multiply was founded with a vision to embody the teachings of Christ through practical service and compassion. The ministry's name is derived from the biblical concept of God's provision, as illustrated in 2 Corinthians 9:10, which speaks of God supplying seed to the sower and multiplying resources to produce a harvest of righteousness. This foundational scripture reflects the ministry's dual focus: meeting immediate physical needs while fostering long-term spiritual growth.
Establishing Roots in Haiti
The ministry began its work in Montrouis, Haiti, a community marked by economic challenges and limited access to basic resources. Recognizing the profound needs of the elderly—a particularly vulnerable population—Supply and Multiply established the Matthew 25 House, a care home providing shelter, meals, and medical care to elderly residents. This initiative was inspired by Matthew 25:40: "Whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me."
In addition to the Matthew 25 House, Supply and Multiply launched programs aimed at education, healthcare, and evangelism. The organization also worked to empower local Haitians by creating jobs and offering training in sustainable practices.
Expansion to Honduras
Building on its success in Haiti, Supply and Multiply expanded its mission to include work in Honduras. The ministry developed initiatives such as medical clinics, meal distribution, and evangelism programs to serve marginalized communities. A key aspect of the work in Honduras has been providing holistic care—addressing both physical and spiritual needs—through short-term mission teams and partnerships with local churches.
Short-Term Mission Teams
A hallmark of Supply and Multiply's model is its engagement with short-term mission teams. These teams, composed of volunteers from partner churches and organizations, bring resources, skills, and encouragement to the communities served by the ministry. They participate in projects ranging from construction and medical outreach to discipleship and children's programs. These experiences not only bless the recipients but also transform the lives of the team members, fostering a deeper commitment to Christ and global service.
Current Focus and Future Vision
Today, Supply and Multiply continues to serve both Haiti and Honduras, addressing critical needs in healthcare, education, and food security. The ministry also supports refugees and oppressed individuals in other regions, including Cuba.
Looking ahead, Supply and Multiply remains committed to growing partnerships with churches, donors, and volunteers to expand its impact. The ministry seeks to inspire others to live out their faith by serving "the least of these" and multiplying the blessings of God's provision.
Legacy of Transformation
From its inception, Supply and Multiply has been a testament to the power of faith in action. Through its work, the ministry has touched countless lives, offering hope, dignity, and the message of Christ’s love to some of the world's most vulnerable populations.
