Lately in our group time we have been leading topics related to world poverty, hunger, and acts of crime and genocide primarily in the African area. Much of what we have been learning and then teaching the teens has been very depressing. So many people are living terrible lives, dying never knowing about Jesus, and then what?? For many, nn eternity in Hell. There are so many things that these people need.... Food, clothing, shelter... a few basics to name a few. Then there is sanitation, access to clean water and for many others access to any water, contaminated or not. Watching some news reports online of what these people must endure, I feel like we need to do more. Not just in our own homes, but as a society and as a country, and more than that, but as a God's Church. What can you do? What will you do?
