Matt 25:37 Then the righteous will answer him, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go and visit you? The King will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me. "

A cry of help from the President of World Vision US:

For the past several months, I've been sharing with you about the dramatic hunger crisis in Africa. So many of you have blessed us with your prayers and generous support, and we've been able to work in the hardest-hit areas, but the situation remains serious because recent rains have not been adequate. I'm haunted by tragic scenes in countries like Somalia, Kenya, Ethiopia, Tanzania, and Burundi. Crowds of desperate mothers hope to receive help for their severely malnourished babies and children. Now the situation has been complicated by floods which have led to disease outbreaks in several areas.


Drought, combined with terrible poverty, civil unrest, and disease, is threatening the lives of an estimated 8 million people — 1.6 million are children under the age of five! That's why I'm turning to you once more with the same urgent plea that I sent in the mail in July. We have a great opportunity to help save lives! Because we've received $107 million in U.S. government food grants, your gift today, combined with these grants, will go 8 times as far to provide lifesaving food for desperate children and families. Please ... Pray that God will direct the aid to the boys and girls who need it most, before it's too late; and for our staff in the field — that they'll be able to shine God's love as they work with these hungry children and families in the midst of adversity. Give online now at http://news.worldvision.org/W8RH03AE9B6792ED1BC7F33E5E7800 to help provide much-needed food, water, and other emergency assistance. Remember—your gift will multiply 8 times! Sponsor another child online in Africa at http://news.worldvision.org/W8RH03AE9B37B2ED1BC7F33E5E7800, to help with long-term recovery projects that will transform the life of that child, his family and community. I thank God for your support in faith, prayer, and action. Thank you for being such a blessing to so many people in need, to our staff all over the world, and to me personally!

Yours in Christ, Rich StearnsPresident, World Vision U.S.

What will God say to you when you get to heaven? What have you done unto the least of these?
Help me change the world one life at a time.
