Ethiopia

I just saw an article on CNN’s website that broke my heart. It basically says that in Ethiopia alone, 6 MILLION children under the age of 5 are at risk of starvation. An alarming 120,000 have only about a month to live.

You know, churches could eliminate this problem pretty easily if they worked together, but we’re too concerned with our own issues. I mean…gas prices are going up ya know?

Honestly, all throughout Scripture you will find passages that talk about caring for orphans, widows, and others in need. There should not be a single child facing starvation in the world. There shouldn’t be a single kid that is waiting to be adopted. There shouldn’t be any kids stuck in the foster care program. Christians should resolve these problems.

I’m gonna figure out a way I can help this immediate hunger issue. I’m sure there are things we can all do to help.
