OUR MISSION:
Model the compassion of Jesus as we strive for a hunger-free tristate.
OUR VISION:
Through our work to end hunger in the tristate region (KY, OH, IN), we reflect God's love through the power of collaboration, compassion, and faith. Partnering with hundreds of nonprofits, we provide access to nourishing food and resources so all can thrive - embodying the hope that Jesus represents. We believe we are better together, and our collective impact changes lives.
"Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience."
Colossians 3:12
OUR FOUNDER'S STORY
Roger Babik
Roger started the mission on a call to serve. His life was drastically changed in 1994 when a friend asked him to take a leap of faith. After the fall of communism, Ukraine desperately needed clothing, jobs, and evangelism. Roger founded Master Provisions (MP) shortly after, with a mission to provide for those in need. For two years, he balanced starting a ministry and working his full-time corporate job. In 1996, Roger walked away from a 17-year telecommunications career to follow God’s call full-time. Roger wrote a book - “Call Against the Will” - detailing his call to and experience in ministry. Roger has led 49 international mission trips since founding MP.
What began as exclusively international outreach shifted in 2013 when MP started meeting local hunger needs. We launched a transportation social enterprise in 2015. Master Provisions grew to support 9 international ministries and serve nearly 80,000 people monthly through hundreds of local partnerships.
