our story
our vision
To start an initiative that will be emulated by other like-minded organizations to reach fringe communities.
To promote new ways of engagement and community in an ever-changing world. To encourage and facilitate change by works and deeds.
our mission
Showcasing the Ministry of Food with food as the language of Love. Our aim is to bring people together and encourage respect and fellowship.
To fund our giving/blessing ministry through commercial events and to be a light in today’s world through leading by example!
It all began with an idea prompted by a small voice, “Anyone that wants to be Someone needs to try and help Everyone”- Hence the idea of our Food Truck.

Our Story….
Our team has worked around the world - the UK, Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, America, Singapore, China & the Philippines and of course back to good ‘ole Australia again. We all have had a taste of what it is to do life rough & to be a stranger in a strange place. But we also know the joy of being welcomed in by an unknown friend with a hot meal and some good old-fashioned kindness & hospitality!
Our dream is to give back to the community just like the countless who have given to us all over the years.
Our Founder’s Story…
Our founder, Edward Nathan (originally from Malaysia), used to help his single mum shop at the farmers market and help with cooking for the family. Without much money, his mum used her creativity with fresh spices to create amazing flavours. The family was sometimes aided by charity groups like St. Vinnies when finances were tight.
Edward went on to study hospitality in England becoming a serial entrepreneur – opening a hotel school in Malaysia, starting a fusion restaurant in the Blue Mountains and establishing an award-winning hospitality training organisation in Canberra over 25 years ago. He founded The Ministry of Food to bless the community. Edward would be the first to acknowledge that this venture would not have been realized without the help and support from his family and many well-wishers, especially his wife, Lynn.
