Facts and article taken from Joyce Meyer Ministries - www.joycemeyer.org

Its time to change the way we look at the world. To turn our eyes away from ourselves and onto the lives of others.

The earth is home 6.76 billion people.

* 1 billion of which survive on less than one dollar a day.

* 3.2 billion people survive on a mere 2 dollars a day.

(That’s 50% of you, or every other person you see without money). Food, water, medical care and shelter become a distant dream. * Children are the most at risk * 30,000 die each day to poverty, that’s about 210,000 each week or 11 million children under the age of 5 each year. THIS IS REALLY HAPPENING.

Imagine that your child is hungry, but you have no money for food and there is nothing you can do about the pain in their eyes. As you read this 854 million people around the world are wondering where their next meal will come from. Imagine you have a cold but no medication, a heart attack but no hospital, without the proper treatment childhood illnesses like diarrhoea and the common cold become killers of millions.

As you read this 2.2 billion people around the world don’t have access to essential medicines. Imagine waking up thirsty, your mouth is so dry it hurts your throat to swallow, but you can’t turn on the tap to get water. You have to walk up to 6 hours a day carrying a heavy container through the roughest terrain and the water you do find is so dirty that drinking it could be fatal. As you real this 1.1 billion people are living without access to safe drinking water.

Imagine a cold bitter winter night, the harsh wind stings your nostrils, you can’t move your toes anymore, but there is nowhere for you to go. As you read this 1.6 billion people around the world are living with inadequate shelter or none at all.

Take a moment to think about the picture that has just been painted for you, these aren’t just figures on a page. These numbers have faces. They are real people JUST LIKE YOU! Its time for a revolution in our thinking and understanding the best way to help ourselves is to reach out and do what we can for others, where out greatest joy comes from the smile on someone else's face. Its time for Love and to take a stand. Don’t close your eyes. Love finds a way......
