Every 7 seconds…
a child dies of starvation.
There may be a temptation to brush pass this blog post, but I pray you will stay with me. A couple of us from WorshipTogether attended an emergency meeting today held by World Vision addressing the global food crisis that is impacting the poorest of the poor around the world.
We learned that several factors from rising fuel costs to extreme weather are all converging to drive the cost of basic food commodities such as rice, wheat and corn to unprecedented heights. Most of us just absorb these increases with little notice, but to those on the edge of survival it has created a global food tsunami.
What can you do to leverage your influence to raise funds to meet this need? For a little more than a dollar a day, you can provide food and basic necessities to a child. Jesus said "whatever you have done for the least of these, you have done for me."
