Welcome to: green feeling.
Dear Friends,
Some years ago after attending a morning Church service in the Burmese jungle I walked around the tribal village. My first stop was the hospital where I witnessed hunger, disease and death in babies and adults. This made me realize that its great to have faith, pray and sing songs etc., but we also need to extend our worship of God into the practical field. The Apostle James sums this up best when he declares "faith without works is dead."
That jungle scene is being repeated daily throughout the world. Hunger and its related diseases is by far the worlds' biggest killer. Hunger doesn't make the news headlines like a plane crash or AIDS, yet the victims it claims every day of the year is horrific.
A feeling of total hopelessness is gripping families and nations as the insidious grip of hunger is strangling much of the world. People are in darkness and do not know where to turn to bring relief. God sent His son Jesus into the world to bring light and hope to all mankind through His gift of salvation, but this gift extends beyond the spiritual into the physical. God desires to feed people as Jesus demonstrated in His feeding of the multitudes. We as the body of Christ have become the hands, feet, eyes and heart of Jesus on this planet. As we proclaim the Good News by feeding the hungry, Gods' glory and light will shine forth for all to see.
Yours for Project Genesis,

To sum it all up
"They don't have to leave," answered Jesus. "You yourself give them something to eat"
Matthew 14:16 .
