These flood victims have been overlooked or discriminated against by Muslim organizations giving aid, who required them to accept Islamic beliefs first. Abid shows them how Jesus loves them unconditionally by offering them kindness, aid and a relationship with Jesus - no strings attached.
“Jesus loves you,” Abid tells every flood victim receiving food. “You need to know Him.”

When you've lost everything, a bag of food is precious. It means survival. It means someone cares about you. It means perhaps you can let yourself hope that Abid's claim that "Jesus loves you" could be true.

Abid gathers all the families and tells them Jesus loves them, has provided for them, and they need to know Him.

Khaisn’s wife passed away, leaving him with four children. Then the flood destroyed everything and Khaisn was struggling to provide formula for the baby. With the gifts from ITMI supporters, Abid was able to provide formula for 2 weeks.
