Something Every Christian Should Do.

When I read the latest update from World Vision, I was immediately struch with the that "Child Sponsorship Is Something Every Christian Should Do." My family sponsors a little boy through Compassion International. While we are not always the best at sending notes and coloring pictures, I don't let that kind of silly guilt lead to inaction. So every month, $32 is automatic withdrawn from our account to ensure that Williamson Joseph will not die from hunger. Stop the craziness. Don't delay. Sponsor a beautiful little boy or girl. Now. Every Christian Should.
WORLD VISION -- EVERY 7 SECONDS A CHILD DIES FROM HUNGER
Dear Friend,
In addition to several recent Asian disasters and African conflicts affecting the lives of children, there is a deadly situation that is rocking the world as a whole. Called the "Silent Tsunami," it is the severe and growing international food shortage - one that is fast becoming a crisis.As a result, children are slowly - yet quietly - starving to death. In fact, at this point in time, a child dies from hunger every seven seconds. That's more than 14,000 children each day from among millions more who are suffering. The voices of these suffering and dying children must be heard.That's why I'm writing ... to tell you that together, we CAN do something about this developing crisis right now.
Give the ultimate gift of Child Sponsorship - the foundation on which World Vision is built. Where just over $1 per day provideslife-saving and life-sustaining essentials to children and theirfamilies, such as: * Nutritious food* Clean water* Medical care* Disease prevention aid* Educational supplies and opportunities* And much moreI know that you, too, have a heart for children and will consider doing what you can to help in this developing food shortage crisis. Thank you for your prayers and support for deserving and suffering children.
Sincerely,
Rich Stearns
President, World Vision U.S.
P.S. Remember, your gift of Child Sponsorship comes at a time when the global food crisis is combining with other recent disasters to create one of the most serious situations affectingthe lives of children. Please help us help starving children.
