Millions of people around the world go for 30 hours in between each meal...30 hours.
Over 26,000 children die each day - most from preventable causes like disease and hunger.
This weekend people all across America are fasting for 30 hours to raise awareness as well as to raise funds.
I am very, very thankful to be a part of World Orphans where the goal is to fight for those 26,000 children by strengthening churches all over the world so future generations can see those children cared for and those numbers lowered.
I would ask you to remind yourself and the people you come in contact with about these numbers. But don't let them be just numbers, let them be real people...and ask God to give you an excitement about what you can do to fight for these children.
There are lots of ways to get involved - please let me know if you're interested.
Thanks for the reminder, Kate. It's too easy to forget (and ignore) that each number represents a person.
