30-Hour Famine

The Youth Group that Wooten goes to on Wednesday nights at First Free Will Baptist Church is participating in the 30-Hour Famine again this year. You can read the post from last year here.

This is an amazing opportunity to raise awareness about hunger in our world. Last year's statistics were that 26,000 children under the age of 5 die each day from preventable causes (hunger, poverty and disease). This year's statistics are down to 25,000 a day. That is still 25,000 too many.

As we have seen from the coverage of the earthquake in Haiti, there are people in need. We can help - first and foremost by praying! The prayer of a righteous man avails much. As I explained to my children - as big and bad as the earthquake was - God is bigger!! No situation is too big for Him! We have heard some of the miraculous stories let us not forget Who is in control.
