Global Awareness :: Week 1

6,500 children under the age of five die everyday from preventable causes. These are God's children. Where are we, the church, in the midst of this tragedy and others like it that are going on all over the world? Jesus said that we as believers are to be salt and light in our world. We are to be change agents who make an impact on the whole world. Yet, it is so easy to live our lives "out of sight, out of mind" and in doing so turn a deaf ear to the unbelievable situations going on all over the world. While we may not can solve every issue that is affecting the world, as believers, we should all be involved in doing something. During the next two weeks, we will be exploring some issues around the world that break the heart of God, and we will be challenged to discover what our response could and should be to these issues.
