5-Day Food Challenge - April 20-24

Are you getting ready for the 5-Day Food Challenge on April 20-24?

I am getting a little nervous as I remember how big a challenge this was last year for our family and many of the families in our area. I am preparing my heart and my body to identify with how so many people live in our world. Last year was difficult and hard but sometimes that is exactly what God uses to teach us things about himself and our world.

This is a chance to identify and see through the eyes of our brothers and sisters around the globe. This is a very Christ like attribute we are persuing as Christ took on human form to be with us and was like us and lived with us. He fasted 40 days! And he experienced pain and hardship just like we do.

This is a great way to follow Christ's footsteps, we can indentify with nearly half the world where one cup or eight ounces is a generous portion. Meat is a luxury. Fresh fruit is rare, available only if locally grown and in season.

Half the world’s population lives on no more than $2 a day. Approximately 1 billion people live on even less—only $1 per day.
