1 Billion People are Going Hungry

Since our trip to Guatemala there have been several articles about the least that have really gotten my attention.

According to the United Nations food officials 1 billion people are going hungry. Think about that again 1 billion people. That number looks like this 1,000,000,000. This is about 1/6 of the total population of the world.

What will the church do in response to this? I think we need to read Matthew 25 again. Pray with me about how God will use our student ministry to make a difference when it comes to the least of these. I want to serve Jesus more today then yesterday. Lets act now!

What do you think about these numbers?
How do you think the church can respond to make a dent in this number?
