The Church of the Ham and Cheese Sandwiches. “When we began our ministry in Guatemala
City,” recalls Alvaro Perdomo. “We went to the poorest neighborhood, rented a small building,
prayed, and waited for God to send people to our new church.”
“That first Sunday, not one adult came,” says Pastor Alvaro. “Later, as we were preparing lunch,
some hungry children came by and asked ‘is this a church or a restaurant?’ We told them it was a
church. We decided to feed them and shared a Bible story.”
“For I was hungry and you gave me food, I
was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a
stranger and you welcomed me,” Matt 25:35
“The following Sunday 20 children came for
lunch and Bible story time. Eventually we were
feeding 300-400 kids every Sunday and the
children started calling us The Church of the
Ham and Cheese Sandwiches.”
From that small beginning Alvaro Perdomo’s
church now ministers to thousands of children
and families through feeding programs,
medical clinics and a Christian school.
Kids for the Kingdom believes in presenting
the Good News message as we meet real
needs. The children in the Guatemala barrio
were hungry for food. Their little hearts were
starved for the gospel message. At a simple
feeding program, Kids for the Kingdom met
both those needs at the same time.
