Our mission has always been to serve with faith and purpose, uplifting lives and advancing the work of organizations grounded in hope, healing, and human dignity. That mission recently found its way halfway around the world, to the villages and schools of Pakistan, where families are waiting and children are hoping that someone will show up.

Through our funding partnership with Servant Project International, LBCF supported a ground-level outreach across Pakistan, making possible the delivery of food packages to struggling families, school supplies and shoes to children, and bicycles to young women whose only barrier to education was the distance between home and school.

We may not have been there in person, but your generosity traveled every mile. This is the story of what your donations made possible.

Our Partner on the Ground: Servant Project International

No mission is accomplished alone. In Pakistan, we had the privilege of funding the work of Servant Project International (SPI), an international humanitarian organization established in 2011 whose mission is to bring hope to people throughout Asia through service, discipleship, and community development.

SPI’s deep roots in Pakistani communities made this outreach possible. Their local leaders, relationships, and on-the-ground infrastructure ensured that every resource we funded reached the right hands. Together, our partnership turned financial support into real, lasting impact.

What Our Funding Made Possible

Feeding Families in Need

Hunger does not wait. In rural communities across Pakistan, families face daily uncertainty about where their next meal will come from. Through LBCF’s funding, SPI distributed packages of grain and essential supplies directly to families gathered in open fields and community spaces.

Men, women, and grandparents stood together, some holding small children, all carrying the quiet strength of people who have learned to endure. When those bags were placed into their hands, the relief on their faces said everything words could not.

Every package was more than food. It was a message: you are seen, you matter, and you have not been forgotten.

Shoes and School Supplies for Children

For a child growing up in poverty, something as simple as a pair of shoes or a school bag can mean the difference between going to class and staying home. When the basics are out of reach, education becomes a privilege rather than a right.

Thanks to LBCF’s support, SPI personally distributed new shoes and school supplies to children dressed in their uniforms, standing patiently in long lines across school courtyards. One by one, each child received what they needed to show up, sit down, and learn.

Stacked school bags. Rows of shoe boxes. And one child at a time, a small but real barrier removed from the path to a better future.

Bicycles for Kids: Keeping Them in School

This was one of the most powerful outcomes of the entire mission.

In many rural areas of Pakistan, distance is the reason girls drop out of school. When a family cannot afford transportation and the nearest school is several kilometers away, attendance becomes impossible, and the dream of an education quietly fades.

LBCF’s funding made it possible for SPI to distribute bicycles to female students in need. One by one, young women in blue school uniforms stepped forward to receive a bicycle of their own, smiling with the kind of joy that comes from being handed something you had given up hoping for.

These are not just bicycles. They are the reason a girl will be in class tomorrow.

The Faces Behind the Mission

What unfolded in Pakistan reminded us of exactly why LBCF exists.

A grandmother standing beside a food box and a bright red bucket, waiting with quiet dignity in a field where dozens of families had gathered. A young girl receiving a shoe box almost as big as she was, gripping it with both hands. Groups of community members raising their hands together in gratitude, not because life had become easy, but because they no longer felt invisible.

These moments do not happen by accident. They happen because people like you choose to give.

Why This Matters to LBCF

Supporting Christian ministries and outreach efforts around the world is one of our core commitments at LB Charitable Foundation. We believe in the power of the gospel of hope, and we believe that real faith shows up in action, in food bags and shoe boxes and bicycle handlebars steadied by caring hands.

Pakistan is home to millions of families living in vulnerable conditions. The needs are significant, and they are ongoing. This outreach was a beginning, not an ending.

Through Servant Project International’s continued work in Pakistan, the communities reached through LBCF’s funding will receive long-term support through educational programs, women’s development initiatives, healthcare outreach, and humanitarian aid. Your generosity makes all of it possible.

“A huge heartfelt thank you to the LB Charitable Foundation for your continued support of our work at Agrarian Institute to fight food insecurity in North County San Diego. Because of you, we’re growing fresh food for our neighbors in need, teaching kids where their food comes from, and inspiring the next generation to care for God’s beautiful creation. Your generosity is helping plant seeds of hope that will grow for years to come.”

These words remind us why we do what we do.

Through this partnership, fresh, locally grown food is reaching families who need it most. Children are learning the value of agriculture, sustainability, and stewardship. Communities are being strengthened—not only through nourishment, but through education, dignity, and hope.

Food insecurity is more than the absence of meals; it is the absence of opportunity. By supporting initiatives like Agrarian Institute, we are helping restore both. Together, we are cultivating a future where access to healthy food, faith-based values, and environmental responsibility grow hand in hand.

We are grateful for the chance to serve alongside organizations that reflect our mission: to uplift, to care, and to love our neighbors through meaningful action. The seeds planted today will continue to bear fruit for generations to come.

With gratitude and faith,
LB Charitable Foundation

Our mission is rooted in compassion, faith, and the belief that every person deserves safety, dignity, and the opportunity to rebuild their life. We are proud to support Love Never Fails and Hubbert Homes—two organizations making a powerful impact in the lives of survivors of human trafficking.

Through this partnership, funding will expand transitional housing and supportive programs for survivors of sex trafficking as they take courageous steps toward independence. The initiative helps provide safe, stable housing and access to vital resources such as counseling, job readiness training, and community reintegration support.

We believe that healing takes more than a roof over one’s head—it takes a network of care, opportunity, and hope. Love Never Fails and Hubbert Homes embody these values by offering survivors a path forward built on love, empowerment, and restoration.

Together, we are creating spaces where survivors can not only recover but thrive—moving from crisis to confidence, from trauma to transformation.

Thanks to the generous support of our community, LB Charitable Foundation has committed a grant that will help support UTSMC’s cutting-edge project: Application of Machine Learning to Digital Histology in Pediatric Ewing Sarcoma. This collaboration marks a major milestone in our ongoing efforts to fund transformative medical research that can change the trajectory of childhood cancer care.

A Humbling Experience at Dr. Andrew Koh’s Laboratory (Chief ,Division of Pediatric Hematology and Oncology)

On May 6, 2025, we had the incredible opportunity to visit Dr. Andrew Koh’s Laboratory at UTSMC, and met most of the Scientists, where the pioneering research on pediatric cancers, including Ewing Sarcoma, is taking place. It was truly a humbling experience to witness firsthand the dedication and precision with which Dr. Koh and his team are working to understand and combat this devastating disease.

The lab’s work is inspiring in its commitment to improving diagnosis and treatment for young patients, and we were deeply moved by the passion and determination of the researchers. The advanced technologies and techniques being developed in the lab, including the use of machine learning and digital histology, are leading the way in how pediatric cancers like Ewing Sarcoma will be diagnosed, monitored, and treated in the future.

Revolutionizing Cancer Research with Machine Learning and Digital Histology

Ewing Sarcoma is a rare but aggressive form of cancer that primarily affects children and adolescents. While treatments have made strides, the disease remains difficult to diagnose and treat effectively. This is where machine learning and digital histology come in. Under the leadership of Dr. Patrick Leavey, MD, and Dr. Xiao, MD, the team at UTSMC is leveraging these advanced technologies to improve how doctors diagnose and track the progression of Ewing Sarcoma at the microscopic level.
Machine learning can analyze vast amounts of digital histological data much more efficiently than traditional methods. This opens up the possibility for earlier diagnosis, more accurate prognoses, and ultimately more effective treatments. By funding this research, we’re not just supporting innovation; we’re helping to pave the way for life-saving breakthroughs that can be used for pediatric cancers beyond Ewing Sarcoma as well.

The Power of Philanthropy in Advancing Science

The work being done at UTSMC is truly groundbreaking, but it wouldn’t be possible without the support of charitable organizations. At LB Charitable Foundation, we understand that research funding is critical to moving science forward—especially when it comes to pediatric cancer, a field that often faces funding gaps. We are incredibly proud to be part of this journey, where our contributions can make a real and lasting impact on the lives of young patients.

We believe in a future where Ewing Sarcoma and other childhood cancers are no longer a death sentence, and where new technologies are the key to earlier detection and more personalized treatments. Our partnership with Wipe Out Kids Cancer and UTSMC represents an exciting step forward in this vision.

Looking Toward the Future

While this grant represents a significant step forward, it’s just the beginning. Together with our partners, we’re committed to supporting research that not only changes the lives of children diagnosed with Ewing Sarcoma but also provides hope to families everywhere who are facing the unimaginable.

The potential for this project to lead to new breakthroughs in pediatric cancer care is limitless, and we’re excited to be on this journey with such dedicated and visionary scientists. We encourage you to join us in supporting this critical work—whether through donations, spreading awareness, or simply staying engaged with the incredible progress being made.

Together, we can wipe out kids’ cancer and create a brighter, healthier future for all.

To God be all the glory!!!

Some moments in life leave an imprint on our hearts forever. For us, visiting Ninos Pag-Asa Orphanage was one of them. As our President so perfectly expressed, it was the highlight of our trip—a trip that blended business and leisure but found its true purpose in this deeply moving experience.

Tears welled in our eyes as we met the children—many of whom live with disabilities such as blindness, deafness, and speech impairments. Yet, despite their challenges, they radiate joy, determination, and an unshakable spirit. Their resilience is nothing short of inspiring, a testament to the power of faith and God’s boundless love.

Through their laughter, perseverance, and unwavering strength, these children remind us that no obstacle is insurmountable when God is at the center. With His grace, even the impossible becomes possible. Their lives are a reflection of His work, and their spirits echo a profound truth: love and compassion can change the world.

We are beyond grateful for the incredible mission of Ninos Pag-Asa and the dedication they pour into these children’s lives. Their work is a beacon of hope, and we are honored to stand beside them in this mission. This visit has left a lasting mark on our hearts, fueling our commitment to continue advocating for and uplifting these children who deserve endless love, care, and opportunities.

Thank you, Ninos Pag-Asa, for all that you do. With our partnership, the mission continues.
