Compassion's Global Food Crisis Day
Did you know that two thirds of the world lives on less than $2 per day? what would it be like to live on that? what if we could only afford to buy a cup of rice each day? what if we had to live on a cup of rice?
Today is global food crisis day. this is a day that we have an opportunity to give to compassions global food crisis fund and make a difference.
here is Brock Gill's challenge. are you ready?
Today, i want you to take a cup of rice and live on that for a day. call it a fast if you want. i will put it this way, if you can live on a cup of rice for the day then you will have a glimpse of what it is like to walk in their shoes. you will gain some serious perspective. you will realize how blessed you actually are.
the money that you would have spent on food for the day can now be donated to feed people around the world. Go to Brock's web site for more information to donate. www.brockgill.com
What is the global food crisis?
Overshadowed by recent political and financial economic news, the UN World Food Programme calls the current global food crisis “a phenomenon, a silent tsunami,” that is affecting millions of families in every nation on every continent. This global food crisis is more rapid, urgent and devastating than any other in the history of our planet.
Why is this happening?
The cost of food staples have roughly doubled in many countries where Compassion serves. Some of the original factors that turned this trend into a world calamity recently include unstable oil prices, increased meat consumption in countries like India and China, droughts in major crop-producing countries, and increased production of biofuels.
