Crazy Love Ministries

What it reported doing in 2024

Special projects: god often surprises crazy love with different opportunities to serve him, but these opportunities do not always become one of our core programs like content, teaching, mercy ministries, or housing. As such, we have created a special vertical called "special projects" to incubate these different areas that we get to serve him in. Our hope is that each of these "special projects" can be spun off as standalone, sustainable and effective ministries after a few years of incubation. Listed below are some of these "special projects".food development program: at the end of 2019, crazy love was approached by jones chan, a food scientist who had a recipe for an innovative food product that would be 3 to 5 times more nutritious than what was currently being distributed in food relief programs around the world-and this food product was cheaper too! Crazy love began a partnership with jones and developed our superfood initiative to launch in afghanistan. We worked closely with a local partner in afghanistan who was already on the ground there and had the infrastructure to not only make this food product, but also to distribute it at scale. Even with the fall of the country to the taliban, god allowed us to continue to produce and distribute much needed food for orphanages and displacement camps for refugees there. Locally, we have developed a nutrient dense meal bar that is specifically designed for the poor and those experiencing homelessness. The packaging of the meal bar contains a qr code that show videos of the gospel message when it is scanned. We pray that the bar can be used as a platform to speak hope and to share the love of christ. The food development program started spinning off from crazy love in 2023 and became their own 501(c)(3) non-profit in 2024. Hong kong: although francis's visa to stay in hong kong was rejected, francis continues to invest into the leaders in hong kong via zoom meetings and calls. The church planting work in hong kong continues, with believers on the ground serving in the poorest areas of the city. Kardia: at the end of 2022, crazy love was connected with two amazing ministry partners, vincent and joanna vitale, who are oxford trained scholars in the areas of apologetics and biblical studies. Their vision is to imagine apologetics for a new generation of skeptics-to address their unique questions and doubts. Crazy love has been partnering with them to build their vision. Kardia ministries started spinning off from crazy love in 2023 and became their own 501(c)(3) non-profit in 2024.
