In response to my latest post, I thought I would hook you up with some nice resources for learning more about poverty, hunger, and how you can get involved. Check it:
worldvision.org World Vision is an amazing outreach ministry looking to further the needs of those struggling all over the world.
30hourfamine.org 30 Hour Famine has a VERY COOL site. It is a part of World Vision, and the focus is on saving those starving all over the world. Good stats there as well.
compassion.com Compassion is where you can sponsor a child somewhere in the world who needs help to survive. You can even write letters to the child that you sponsor
globalrichlist.com Global rich list is friggin (can I say that?) awesome. You can type in your yearly income, and see how it compares to the rest of the world... Let's just say Heidi (my wife) and I put our combined income in (keep in mind we are youth pastors), and we were still richer than 98.3% of the world. WOW!
chipindy.org Chip Indy is in charge of Indy Homeless Connect, which is held at the Indianapolis Convention Center. For one day downtown homeless persons can go to the Convention Center for free medical exams, law advice, job search, care packages, spiritual guidance, counseling, and much more.
Also, there is so much out there as far as getting involved with the poor wherever you are. On a music front, Heidi sent me a youtube video of casting crowns, "the american dream." Look it up on youtube, it has a very interesting message which relates to the post.
