Don't forget
I was just reading about the country of Haiti.
Most people in that country live on less than one dollar a day. They have little to no hope of a good government, job opportunity, or education. Listen: The average life expectancy has decreased to 49.
Please let that sink in right now.
Don't forget to spread out what you've been given. A great organization to give to is Empowering Lives International. They are in countries in Africa teaching people real skills that will bring people and eventually whole communities out of poverty. They are also training pastors to spread the hope of Jesus.
Another good organization to give to is Compassion International. They provide food, healthcare, and education to children in third world countries.
With both Empowering Lives and Compassion you can personally sponser and get to know a specific child for about $30 a month. If you have enough money to spend $1 a day on useless stuff like coffee, candy bars, fast food...then you have enough to bring hope to one child...or probably many. If you have to go out to eat, go to Del Taco instead of Claim Jumper and there's your $30 for the whole month for that child. Seriously, how much money do we waste everyday? Gather it together and redirect it.
I'm serious. Right now.
