Do something

Orphans, poverty, starvation................................. These are things that no one wants to talk about. Their are 153 million children that don't have parents. at least 80% of humanity lives on less than $10 a day. over 3 billion people live on less than $2.50. Each year 2.6 million children die because of starvation. These things are preventable so why are they still happening? As Christians we need to step up and do something!!!!! Lots of people just say why can't someone else do it. In reality though if every one says this no one will do anything. God tells in the bible it is our job as Christians to help the poor, starving, and orphaned. Did you know that if only 7% of Christians would adopt the orphan crisis would be ended? Did you know every 18 seconds another child becomes an orphan? These statistics didn't affect me until I met the faces behind the statistics. Once you know their stories and names their is no going back. once you see people in true poverty begging in the middle of the street. Once you see children and people starving their is no going back. once you see these things the numbers turn into faces. Once you see faces instead of numbers ignoring the situation is impossible. I can't ignore the statistics any more. I want to make a difference. Even if I can only change the life of one person. I want to do something about these things.
