And You Thought You Were Hungry!
By Joe Lightfoot | Pastor of Adult Ministries |
If you are like me, your stomach rumbles at certain points during the day. Just like clockwork, it sounds the alarm to be fed. However, delaying lunch for 30 minutes is not a hardship, especially in consideration of what the rest of the world experiences.
In the United States, 11.7 million children live in households where people have to skip meals or eat less to make ends meet. Worldwide statistics are much worse. More than 862 million people in the world go hungry. One child dies every five seconds of starvation or malnutrition related disease.
So being hungry for a few hours is nothing compared with the millions of people around the world who wake up every day wondering if they’ll have anything to eat.
You can change this reality. We will be participating in Meals from the Heartland September 1–9 at HyVee Hall in downtown Des Moines.
In this serving effort, teams of 8–10 people will join together to package over 3 million life-sustaining meals that will be delivered to starving and malnourished children in Belize, El Salvador, Guyana, Haiti, Jamaica and Nicaragua.
You can help with an investment of only 2½ hours.
To learn more, come skip lunch with us on Sunday, August 24, 12:15–1:15pm, in Fellowship Hall. You’ll get a little taste (literally) of what we’ll be doing and you’ll have an opportunity to sign up for a team.
