What Are Ya' Feedin'?

Noonkuta Kioyet, a mother of five, says the drought has brought immense suffering to her family. "We had 100 cows, but all of them are dead," she whispers. Esther, a grandmother, said, "I have been without food so long that I no longer feel the pangs of hunger. "Tears filled her eyes as she told of putting her 18-month-old grandson to bed without feeding him first. In the midst of a worsening situation, Esther tries to hang onto hope. "Our friends will help us," she says as she wipes tears from her eyes. Will you be one of the friends Esther is looking for?

Every $32 you send will provide $512 in urgently needed food such as beans, rice, vegetable oil, peas, wheat, soybeans, and corn for hungry children! World Vision has been given an opportunity to help save children's lives through $91.8 million in grants from the U.S. government! Because your gift will be combined with grant funds, it will multiply 16 times in impact to provide lifesaving food for 4.5 million children and families who are living on the edge of starvation. Please don't pass up this amazing opportunity to save children's lives. Every gift is important. Jesus said if you "give even a cup of cold water to a little child" in His name, "you will surely be rewarded." (Matthew 10:42, LB) Your gift will touch the heart of God, and you will have the joy of knowing that He is pleased by your compassionate act. Please respond generously. The situation is truly urgent.

It's so much easier to curse the darkness than to light a candle. If you've been reading me for long, you might think that I'm the potty-mouthed kid that runs into things in the dark, but I can assure you, as humbly as I can, that this isn't the case. Christ asks us if we love Him and that if we do we're to feed His sheep.

I implore you. If you're not giving in some capacity to an organization such as this, the local body or whatever, you've got to question yourself and your love for Him.
