How You Can Make A Difference - Read On

Being behind in my devotional reading, I am always amazed at how God points me to just the right reading for the day at hand. Today it is Our Daily Bread's 5/11/12 devotional entitled "A Sense Of Concern" by Bill Crowder (http://odb.org/2012/05/11/a-sense-of-concern/). He cites fearsome statistics which to most Americans seem unbelievable - " Every year 15 million people die from hunger." "In 2008, nearly 9 million children died before their fifth birthday, with a third of those deaths related to hunger."

Mr. Crowder lists a number of practical things that can be done to help others: "volunteering at a soup kitchen, assisting in a job search, financially supporting the drilling of wells in places in need of fresh water, distributing food in poverty-stricken regions, teaching a trade, or providing lunches for school children."

The Gaithersburg Presbyterian Church Youth program will be embarking on an international trip this summer to Guatemala to assist those less fortunate. At the bottom of my landing page is a letter describing how you can help by helping the helpers.

Please prayerfully read on.
