By posting this blog post, I have involved you in a crisis without your permission. I am sorry for this. The image above, though, is an image of real children that need YOUR help.
See – I believe that God holds us accountable for what we know and
now that YOU know that these kids need YOUR help, I believe that God
will hold YOU (and I) accountable for what we do about it. THIS IS AN EMERGENCY! This is not a test. This is not fake. This is not a scam. Real babies are dying of starvation all around the world.
Do
you know that means? It means they have so little food and nutrition
that their little bodies completely break down until they become like zombies and die. Period. I will spare you the awful details for now.
Last Sunday, at the Grand Opening of The Courageous Church, we launched a series entitled Greater Than God? 5 Ways God Wants Us To Change…The World! Part 1 of our series last Sunday was on the issue HUNGER and
we dealt not only with personal and spiritual issues of what it means
when we fill the hunger inside of us with things other than God, but we
also pledged to launch a BOLD, COURAGEOUS campaign to fight back against the most severe cases of starvation in our world.
In just a few short days since last Sunday, we have already made major progress, but we need YOUR support and your input now @ TheyWillDie.org – the website for our Global PlumpyNut Initiative.
There you can watch a video about our cause, learn more about our work,
join our Facebook and Twitter pages, and give us your input on what YOU
could do to help take this campaign to the next level of action!
God Bless You! Be Courageous!

You’re talking to my heart man – directly to it.
Our son is buried in Ethiopia – he lived for 76 days and went home to be with his heavenly Father before we could go get him to bring him home to be with us.
There is something very very surreal about visitng the grave of your tiny little son that you never got to hold in a VERY crowded cemetary. With graves of many other little ones with the same story all around you.
Seeing my name on his grave marker – made it all the more real. I believe without a shadow of a doubt that his illnesses, his weakened immune system, his constant battles with health – were all nutrition related.
Yes – now WE KNOW. You are right. And we should all consider this: God knows we know. And he knows that we know what we should do about it.
Are we gonna do it?
Man – I will be praying for your initiatives and everything that your church is doing in this area. Thank you for your efforts…
The moment I surfed over to Theywilldie.org I knew I had to give. I’ve been praying for God to break my heart over what breaks His. He did. I donated and will continue to make it part of our monthly giving. And we’ll incorporate this into the church.
This is great man! Wow. Thanks for leading your church in this way. May God do great things!!
