Meal's With A Mission
Meals With A Mission was launched in September 2025 as a God breathed assignment born from the heart of compassion and the call of Heaven. What began as a simple vision to feed the hungry has grown into a movement of restoration and hope for the streets of Savannah, Georgia. This ministry was not created from human ambition but from divine instruction as a clear response to the Spirit’s call to love the forgotten and meet the needs of the least among us.
Rooted deeply in the words of Jesus Christ in Matthew 25:35-40, we carry this mandate as our banner: “For I was hungry and you gave Me food, I was thirsty and you gave Me drink, I was a stranger and you took Me in.” Every act of service, every sandwich prepared, and every prayer spoken is done with the awareness that when we serve the hungry, we are serving Christ Himself. Meals With A Mission stands as a living reflection of this scripture through feeding bodies, healing hearts, and restoring dignity to those who have been cast aside.
Each week, our team assembles bagged lunches containing a freshly prepared sandwich, chips, two side items, and a bottled water. It may seem simple, but each meal is more than food, it’s a message. Every bag carries the weight of love, the fragrance of compassion, and the touch of the Kingdom. As these meals are handed out, we also offer prayer, encouragement, and personal conversation to remind every individual that they are seen, valued, and loved by God.
Our outreach currently serves those in Wells Park and Thomas Square Park which are all locations known not only for their beauty and history, but also for their deep challenges. These are areas often marked by gun violence, drug activity, and gang presence, yet they are also home to souls longing for peace and purpose. Many avoid these parks, but we have been called to them. We believe that Kingdom light belongs exactly where darkness has tried to settle.
Meals With A Mission moves into these spaces not with fear but with faith. We walk the grounds that others label “unsafe” and declare them redeemed. We refuse to let violence and despair have the final word over our city. By showing up consistently and serving faithfully we confront chaos with compassion, fear with faith, and hatred with love. Each outreach becomes a declaration that Savannah’s inner city still belongs to God.
Our team operates with a clear conviction that the Gospel must be seen before it can be heard. When someone receives a meal from us, they are not just receiving food, but they are receiving a tangible expression of the love of Christ. They encounter hope in human form. The smile, the prayer, the conversation...all of it works together to build bridges between heaven and earth right there in the park.
Through this simple yet powerful act of service we have witnessed the beginning of transformation. Men and women once hardened by survival are opening up to prayer. Those once addicted are asking for change. People who had lost all sense of worth are finding purpose again. We have seen laughter replace fear, unity replace tension, and the Spirit of God move powerfully in places the world had written off as lost.
Meals With A Mission is not simply a feeding ministry, it is an apostolic outreach designed to reclaim territory for the Kingdom of God. We understand that true transformation does not start in boardrooms or buildings, but in the streets where pain resides. We bring more than food. We bring divine confrontation, love that challenges darkness, and light that refuses to be extinguished. Every meal is a prophetic act declaring, “Jesus still walks these streets.”
Our vision is to see Savannah’s most broken places restored. We dream of parks once known for crime becoming sanctuaries of peace and prayer. We believe that the same neighborhoods once gripped by violence will soon echo with worship and testimony. As this work continues, we see a city being transformed one meal, one conversation, and one soul at a time.
Through every outreach, we remain anchored in our central truth: this is the Kingdom of God in motion. We do not serve for recognition or applause. We serve because Heaven commanded it. Each sandwich is a seed of revival. Each bottle of water is a stream of grace. And each person we encounter is a life worthy of the love of Christ. With boldness and unwavering faith, Meals With A Mission declares over Savannah the Kingdom of God reigns here, and the streets belong to the King.
Scripture In Motion
Scripture In Motion was launched on May 16, 2026, birthed solely in the Spirit of Apostle Bardwell as a God breathed extension of Meals With A Mission. This extension of the ministry exists to take the Gospel directly to the streets, reaching those whom society has unfortunately forgotten. It is a divine response to the call to bring Christ’s hope to the most vulnerable, demonstrating that no soul is beyond the reach of God’s love.
Every "Spiritual Nourishment Kit" is intentionally crafted to speak to both the spirit and the heart. A pocket size King James New Testament provides the living Word, offering direction, comfort, and spirirual authority. It is not merely a book; it is a vessel of divine encounter, a light shining into lives often surrounded by darkness.
The pen included in each kit represents empowerment and the ability for each individual to respond to God’s truth, to record insights, and to act upon the revelation which they receive. It is a tangible reminder that God desires their engagement, their voice, and their obedience to His Word.
The spiral notebook serves a sacred purpose as a space to journal their thoughts, questions, and reflections. It encourages ongoing dialogue with God and with our ministry team during future visits. Through this simple tool, we cultivate continuity of learning, growth, and spiritual accountability, helping individuals walk more closely with Jesus Christ.
The single Lifesaver candy we offer carries profound symbolism, representing Christ saving their soul from hell. It is a small, sweet reminder that the Gospel is not abstract but infact is life-altering, eternal, and personal. Each candy tells the story of redemption, a visual and experiential proclamation of salvation through Jesus Christ as our Savior.
Outreach through Scripture In Motion is deliberate and prayer saturated. Each kit is prepared with reverence, infused with the prayers of divine intercession, and distributed with utmost care. Beyond the items themselves, our team offers conversation, encouragement, and prayer, letting each recipient know they are valued, seen, and deeply loved by God and our volunteers.
We enter spaces often avoided including parks, underpasses, and streets marked by severe struggle with faith rather than fear. These are not areas of defeat; they are ground prepared for Kingdom intervention. In every encounter, we declare that God’s Word is living, His Kingdom present, and His power able to transform circumstances previously ruled by darkness.
We have already witnessed the Spirit move in response. Lives once hardened by survival are beginning to soften; eyes are being opened to truth; and hearts are stirred toward repentance and faith in Christ. Scripture In Motion is more than distribution, infact it is an apostolic ministry reclaiming this territory for the Kingdom and demonstrating that God’s light is unquenchable even in the darkest of environments and unfortunate local political policies.
Each of these kits function as a seed of revival. The Bible, the pen, the spiral notebook, and the Lifesaver are not random; they are conduits for God’s presence. Through these items, the Word is being read, reflected upon, recorded, and internalized, bringing freedom, restoration, accountability, and the opportunity for transformation to every soul encountered.
Our vision is the restoration of Savannah’s streets, one kit and one soul at a time. We see hope rising where despair once ruled, faith replacing fear, and lives encountering the reality of Christ in tangible ways. Scripture In Motion embodies the Kingdom in action, declaring boldly that the streets belong to the King and that His Word moves powerfully through obedience, love, and unwavering faith and commitment.
