I have mentioned that we are feeding kids at a local elementary school. 25 kids a day. Last week in a conversation with the principal, Don found out that for approximately 12 of these kids, the lunch we provide is the only meal they get on any given day. That is messed up.
I had another conversation last week with a guy about church and missions. We were talking about how immoral we can be, when we pat ourselves on the back for sending cash to foreign missions, while the guy next door, or down the street is starving. Somehow, foreign hungry people seem to be more appealing, I guess.
Maybe its because a hungry kid in my neighborhood look just like my kid,.... only hungry. Maybe they need to network more. I have found that all it takes to really see what is going on around us, is to get out in the community and start rubbing elbows with people. Real people. I have also found that in many cases meeting the need is very simple.... Can you make a sandwich?
Peace,
