What hangs on your refrigerator? I’m not one for lots of pictures or papers on my refrigerator, but I do have a few things on the side of it. I have a picture of my daughter Sara with our friend Zoe from 5 years ago, a magnetic note pad, a magnet that says, “Keep Calm and Eat Chocolate”, a family friend’s Christmas card picture, and a picture of Wilson Daniel and a letter from him.
You may ask, “Who is Wilson Daniel?”
Wilson is the latest child I support through Food for the Hungry. Over the years, many different pictures have hung in that same spot. I see him when I’m cooking and I pray for him. He smiles back at me each day and his neat handwriting tells me of what he’s been up to.
This morning I received an email from Food for the Hungry asking if I would be able to support another child because the need is so great. As I read through it, the thought crossed my mind that maybe, just maybe you could join me in supporting a child who is in need of food, water, and possibly shelter.
The email explains it better than I can:
“Right now, we have 43,861 children who were hoping sponsors would step forward on their behalf this spring and summer, but it just hasn’t happened.
Why? Please give me a few moments to explain …
- The majority of children are sponsored when Christian musicians share about Food for the Hungry during their concerts.
- In response to the pandemic, concerts were canceled across the United States.
- So, thousands of children who would have received a sponsor this spring won’t, because fewer are learning about the opportunity.”
Friends, did you see that number? 43,861
That’s a lot of empty bellies.
If you would like to join me in supporting a child please click here. The cost is $38 a month.
Thank you for considering to help Food for the Hungry bring food, water, education, and Jesus to the lease of these.
