Matt Maher & Friends  |  Love Reaches Everywhere

Mary’s Meals is a global movement of people from all walks of life, united by our belief that no child in this world of plenty should endure a day without a meal. Ours is not a movement that divides rich from poor, or giver from receiver.  Every contribution is equally valued, from cash donations that buy the food, to the time and energy given to cook and serve the meals. Nearly every part of our work depends on unpaid volunteers, and it is through them that our movement grows. Together, we are helping transform the lives of hundreds of thousands of impoverished children.  www.marysmeals.ca

“Worship music paints with broad strokes for large groups of people, that stem from intimate stories and experiences; the challenge, as a creator, is to somehow let the former come out of the latter.” Matt MaherSince his major label debut in 2008, Matt Maher has become a staple in the artistic and songwriting community. He has garnered multiple radio successes, writing and recording songs such as his Top 5 CCLI song Lord, I Need You and the chart-topping radio singles Because He Lives (Amen) and Alive &amp; Breathing.

Magnus MacFarlane-Barrow OBE is founder and CEO of Mary’s Meals. In 1992, during the Balkan conflict, Magnus and his brother Fergus were so moved by the scenes on television that they took a week’s leave from their jobs, loaded a jeep with aid and joined a convoy travelling to Medjugorje, in Bosnia, to distribute it. On their return, donations continued to flood in resulting in Magnus eventually driving from Scotland to Bosnia a total of 23 times to deliver vital supplies. He never returned to his old job and instead set up a registered charity, named Scottish International Relief (SIR).During a trip to Malawi in 2002, Magnus met with a family whose predicament was to spark a change in not only his own life, but in the lives of thousands of others. Lying on the floor of a hut was a mother named Emma, who was dying of AIDS. Her six children were gathered around her and Magnus asked the eldest, Edward, what it was that he hoped for from life. “To have enough to eat and to be able to go to school one day,” was his answer. Edward’s words inspired a mission to bring hungry children to school by providing Mary’s Meals. Working with like-minded people and in partnership with some of the world’s poorest communities, Magnus leads a mission that lets children all over the world know they matter. From starting out feeding just 200 children in southern Malawi in 2002, the charity now works with communities in 20 countries to provide meals for more than 2.2 million children every school day – cooked and served by local volunteers.In 2010, Magnus was praised as a CNN hero for his role in founding and leading Mary's Meals and, in April 2015, he was named one of Time magazine's 100 most influential people in the world. Magnus’ first book, The Shed That Fed A Million Children, reached the UK’s prestigious Sunday Times bestseller list immediately after its release. His second book, GIVE: Charity and the Art of Living Generously, is also published by HarperCollins and currently available in hardback and audiobook formats. Magnus’ first book has been fully updated as The Shed That Fed 2 Million Children and was published by HarperCollins on 30 September 2021.*For more information visit: marysmeals.caNot sure what ticket you would like to purchase?
