Have You Heard the Cries?


Have you heard the cries? Have you ever noticed that when you one baby starts crying in a nursery the other babies start crying, pretty soon the entire nursery is filled with the sounds of crying babies? As I researched facts about Asia today, I have to say that same feeling came over me. I wanted to start crying because what I found out made my stomach upset! Did you know?

· 60% of world’s population is in Asia (4 Billion People)
· 33% of World’s population is Christian but only 7.7% in Asia
· 1.4 Billion people live below the poverty level
· 27 Million people are victims of Human Trafficking and 1 Million are Children
· 400 Million children will go to bed hungry tonight

These statistics are HORRIBLE because there are so many people who are lacking basic things like food, clothing, housing, and Jesus! As I think about Jesus and his ministry on earth, he provided people with both physical and spiritual food. Jesus showed love to everyone he meet and told them about a new way of life. I want to be more like Jesus, would you like to join me? In the upcoming weeks, I will let you know how YOU can help!
