Problem: Global Hunger Solution: Us

We’ve seen them – photos and video clips that allow us to glimpse images representing the world’s hungry. Gaunt faces,     hopeless eyes, distended abdomens, desperate families, and dire conditions wrench our hears. We feel the urge to collect and give food and funds for the hungry. How can we become a part of the solution to the problem of global hunger?

WMU encourages men, women, and children to join together to help the hungry by giving sacrificially to the Global Hunger   Relief Fund.  WMU works cooperatively with partners to provide facts and helpful resources, encourage volunteers, gather donations, distribute funds and necessities, and tell stores of helping the hungry. Learn more about Global Hunger Relief by visiting GlobalHungerRelief.com.

What can we do to address the families, children, and babies suffering from hunger, good insecurity malnutrition, and starvation? First John 3:17-18 states, “If anyone has material possessions and sees a brother or sister in need but has no pity on them, how can the love of God be in that person? Dear children, let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth.”

Global Hunger Facts
- In the United States, one in six people faces hunger issues. Good banks serve one in seven people.

- Close to 48.1 million people in the US live in food-insecure households.

- On a global scale, around 795 million people are undernourished.

- Throughout the developing world, 66 million primary school-age children go to school hungry.

- More than 3 million children under five die each year because of poor nutrition.

- One hundred percent of gifts to the Global Hunger Relief Fund helps alleviate hunger needs.

- Administrative and promotional costs are never supported by gifts to Global Hunger Relief. Partnerships with multiple organizations result in those costs being covered by other funds.

Return Hunger banks Sunday, August 4th.

Women on Mission will meet Monday, August 5th at 6:00 pm at the church.  All our ladies are invited to be with us.

A Focus on Cooperative Program
Accomplishing More Together.

 English Baptist William Carey answered the call to carry the gospel to India in the late 1700s. He recognized that to be effective in his efforts, he needed partnership and cooperation. He challenged churches to “hold the ropes” by committing to pray for and give to mission efforts.

In 1845, the Southern Baptist Convention was formed and continued in the spirit of fulfilling the Great Commission.  The initial approach was a societal method of giving. Missionaries had to raise their own financial support and devote significant time to cultivating churches and individuals for that support.  As missions efforts grew rapidly, so did the competition for funding. God led Southern Baptist in 1925 to launch a unified channel of giving called the Cooperative Program. It is a lifeline of support that begins with individual believers in each Southern Baptist congregation. As believers respond in obedience to give to the Lord in the local church, churches, in turn, allocate a percentage of undesignated gifts through the Cooperative Program for state, national, and international missions.

The simple principle that more can be accomplished together than alone is the genius of the Cooperative Program. For almost 90 years, Southern Baptist have supported thousands of missionaries, planted multitudes of churches, and witnesses countless lives profess Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord.

Can one local church support more than 6,000 missionaries as well as six seminaries and engage more than 3,000 unreached people groups around the world? By giving through the Cooperative Program, yes, it can.

Please continue to feed your World Hunger bank. These will be returned Sunday, August 4th.
