1.02 billion people do not have enough to eat.
25,000 people die every day from hunger and related causes.
Every six seconds a child dies because of hunger and related causes.
WE are so blessed here in America. WE live in a culture where most of us never have to face a serious hunger problem on a daily basis.
When I first think about how I can help those who are dying from hunger, in a totally different country thousands of miles away, I feel overwhelmed. I start to think that there is nothing I can do to help these people.
Yet, WE as the Body of Christ are called to be helping these people. Jesus says “…whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.”
If WE choose to not help these people we are choosing to blatantly disobey what God has called us to do, “love the least”
So I present to you a way WE can help those who are starving.
It’s called Freerice.com
All WE have to do is play this vocabulary game that Freerice.com provides. For each question you answer correctly 10 grains of rice will be donated to those who are “the least”.
Now it is your choice! Will you help those who are starving for a simple grain of rice?
