- How much money do you spend on going out to eat?
- How much do you spend on coffee?
- How much money do you spend on entertainment?
- How much money do you spend on more clothes, more shoes, more jewelry?
- How much money do you spend on Christmas presents for people that really NEED nothing?
- How much money do you spend on toys for a child that has so many they don't know what to do with them all?
Do you spend more on those things than you do on saving these children's lives? If you do, there is something wrong. I have been just as guilty as the next person of this. However, through a book I have been reading and a series my church has been doing...my heart has been broken. My eyes have been opened. And my life is changing as a result.

Americans spent 5 BILLION dollars on halloweeen this year. That is 1 billion more than the annual budget of the Red Cross. That is 2 billion more than the annual budget of the Salvation Army.With our wealth and disposable income (Yes, even in this financially hard time in the U.S.), American's alone could END world hunger.
HOW MUCH WILL WE SPEND ON CHRISTMAS WHILE CHILDREN ALL OVER THE WORLD STARVE AND DIE?

World Vision is just ONE organization you can go through to help. But they are amazing. They are not just putting a band aid on the problem. Through them, you can
sponsor a child and provide them with food, water, healthcare, and education,
dig wells of clean water for villiages,
give livestock to families and teach them how to use them to provide for their families,
give small business loans so that people can use their talents and work their way out of poverty
Help free CHILDREN from their bondage as sex slaves.
PLEASE DON'T WAIT ANOTHER MINUTE.
I am not even kidding. If every single person who was going to buy me a Christmas gift, instead sponsors a child, gives to end world hunger, buys a goat for a family, and just simply writes in a card what they did and gives it to me open on Christmas morning, that would bring me the MOST joy of any gift. Please. I need nothing!

Well said my friend and very convicting. We have been talking about sponsoring a child for a while and I know we NEED to do it- and we are also going to start looking into adoption!!
