World Food Crisis

I invite you to join me and many others this Wednesday June 25th (or any day) in praying and fasting with Compassion International regarding the world food crisis.  The price for rice, beans, corn and other food staples has risen exponentially in recent months, creating extreme hardship and suffering. Families earning less than $2 a day cannot afford to keep up with these rising prices. There is just no margin.  The impact is truly devastating.  The issue goes far deeper than money though.  Check out this video above, its very eye opening. You can also click here for more detailed info. from Compassion.  We have to turn to our God for His mighty hand to bring relief, He is the creator and sustainer of all things.  The book of James says that "the prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective."  Don't underestimate what God can do, and also seriously consider things in your lifestyle that could be changed to be a part of the solution instead of the problem.  I think that when it comes to our participation in God's Kingdom and the restoration it does, there is a strong call on us to act on a spiritual level and a physical/tangible level, they are totally interconnected.  Read the book of James, that's all I can say, it totally challenges and convicts.
