Challenge: Eat Like a Refugee for Five Days

Source: Jeannie Marie

Ready for a preposterous global challenge (that you can do right at home?)

Imagine experiencing what refugees eat every day—not just thinking about it, but actually living it. I’m inviting you to try something radical: eat like a refugee for five days.

Just oatmeal, rice, beans, and flour. That’s it. Whether you do this with your family, small group, or entire church, one thing’s certain: this experience will change you.

Why? Because when we step into someone else’s reality—even for a few days—it transforms our perspective forever.

Can’t travel overseas for a short-term trip right now? Perfect timing to bring this global experience home.

Get directions to do your own Eat Refugee Rations Global Challenge with your family, small group, or your whole church. A project for Lent? Jeannie shares lots of fun ideas for how you can make this work.
