Day 16: Learning about poverty

Halfway through 31 days of compassion, I wanted to share a poverty quiz that Compassion has on their website. It's designed to help us learn more about global poverty. I took the quiz and found myself really thinking about my answers. It brought me back to the reason that I was drawn to sponsoring a child in the first place. Go here and take the quiz.

One question that really spoke to me was:

"How many children under age 5 die of hunger-related causes every minute?"

Every minute?!? Oh my word, that just breaks my heart. We have plenty of food in our house, and about a hundred stores around us. These poverty-stricken children are happy with just a few beans and rice, if they even get that.

Take the quiz, pray about how you can help end poverty, one child at a time, in the name of Jesus.

In His peaceful presence,

Sharon
