Food, is there enough for everyone?

I am amazed at the amounts of food that my girls can put away in one meal. They can sometimes eat more than Bond and I have on our plates. It's amazing, but they have most likely seen real famine. We will never know what all their history is and how long they have had to wait for their next meal and where that meal might come from.

There are so many many billions of people in the world that need to eat. Read this article snd you will be amazed at how little people live on.

Here’s a post from Brandi’s blog (Living Freely):

FEED THE FORGOTTEN

Too often we hear heartbreaking stories like this (that I posted on Saturday) and do nothing. We feel helpless. . . and so we move on. Not this time. There are people DYING in Uganda right now. There are children who’s bellies are hungry and aching. There are mamas who are too weak to stand and babies begging to be held. There are people trapping termites hoping for food and eating dung in helplessness. DO NOT CAVE TO DESPAIR. YOU CAN DO SOMETHING.

Join us and Children’s HopeChest to FEED THE FORGOTTEN!!! (CLICK HERE TO GIVE NOW) (note: please write FEED THE FORGOTTEN in the notes section)
For $0.14, we can (and WILL) feed someone a meal of posho and beans. (posho is cornmeal, which is filling and beans are protein). Take that in for a moment. . .

$0.14 a meal

$2.86 for 20 days

$1 per FAMILY

$20 feed a family for 20 days.

How much was my Chick Fil A yesterday? How much is your Starbucks? The bigger question is how much am I willing to give up SO THAT OTHERS MIGHT EAT?

Remember Jesus story of the Good Samaritan? Remember how his very neighbors walked right by him? They probably looked at him with pity. . .probably thought “oh poor guy, that breaks my heart” but the fact is THEY DID NOTHING.

What will you do? These children are starving. . .

these actual children. . .

Will you help? The money raised will feed those precious children. There are 3 - 4 villages that we are targeting (I’m hoping for more after we see how much we can raise!) to bring food relief to asap. These people are literally starving. . and waiting for you to act. Will you help? Even with paypal fees (2-3%) even $1 will feed 6 people! You CAN make a difference.

Spread the word, blog about it, facebook it, twitter it, ask your church or school or business to give, post the blog badge anything. Truly, we are begging you. . .on behalf of these children not to forget this post and move on to the next in your google reader list. Stop, pray, act.

GIVE TO FEED THE FORGOTTEN CHILDREN!!!!!
