"For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in."
There are nearly 10 million people who are in a life and death situation
as they are 'critically short of food' in East Africa.
The UN is reporting this as the worst drought in over 60 years.
For many, that is just another headline on the evening news...
for me those 'people' have NAMES and FACES.
So many of the children I know & love in Uganda & Kenya are short of food.
Jesus does not ASK us to help feed the hungry
and care for the poor -
He COMMANDS us to.
When was the last time we truly SACRIFICED to meet the needs of the hurting?
When was the last time any of us were TRULY HUNGRY?
As a mother, I can not imagine not being able to give my children
the basic necessities of
FOOD, CLEAN WATER and CLOTHES.
Yet how much of my time and focus is worrying about all the EXTRAS?
My heart is breaking!
I am challenged as I read the news about the suffering taking place ...
what can I 'give up' to be able to 'give MORE'?
Food & Water....
Seriously?
They need basic Food and Water!
Please pray with me
...and consider what God would have YOU do
to be His 'hands and feet' to
the suffering in East Africa.
I am leading a team back to Uganda & Kenya October 12th- 24th...
and we still have space available.
Is He calling YOU to
GO, FEED, and LOVE
on the fatherless?

You can also send funds directly to Fiwagoh,
the orphanage we stayed at (and will be staying at again)
in Kenya. They are VERY short of food
and the funding to buy more.
You can send a check made payable to:
Fiwagoh Mission Society
(memo line: feeding program)
P.O. Box 60
Thompsonville, IL 62890
Every penny of your tax-deductible donation will be wired into their
account in Kenya and used specifically to purchase food.
You can read more about this orphanage and the incredible Pastor and his wife
who run it by clicking HERE.
Don't just hear and read the headlines then turn away.
In obedience RESPOND to what Jesus has
commanded us to do....
"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.'
Matthew 25: 40
