Day 64. Dollar 64. Pound 64. Our prayers today are for those reaching into the deep pots of famine to help lighten the burdens of those suffering and hungering in Africa.
Note from Brenda: Our Wordless Wednesday post is a photo of a small child being weighed at a field hospital run by Doctors without Borders in Dadaab, Kenya. A 7 month old who weighs as much as a newborn. Somalia's famine will worsen unless food aid increases soon, officials say. This photo and story, which is found in every newspaper and online news site, has haunted me throughout the week. We write of Avenues of Hope, they write of "roads of death", where people are literally dying on their way to receive nourishment. As many as 11 million people have fled their homes as families, in search of food. In HOPE of reaching aid. Be it Somalia, be it Kenya, be it Denver, I sincerely thank you for praying over and bringing food to the hungry Children of God.
