OUR FOUNDER'S STORY
Roger Babik
Roger's parents, Jerry and Susan Babik, prayed daily for 38 years that one of their children would serve in vocational Christian ministry. The Lord answered their prayers when Roger founded Master Provisions (MP) in 1994. He graduated from Milligan University, then worked 17 years in corporate telecommunications before answering God's call to establish MP.
While President, Roger, with active support from his wife, Tanya, and their 4 children, led 48 international mission trips and coordinated almost 600 container shipments to 20 different nations. The team at MP "Served God by Connecting Resources to Needs." In 2013, MP started to address local hunger needs. Hundreds of local nonprofits distributed millions of pounds of food rescued by MP each year.
