If We Really Love People
December 3, 2023 • 1 John 3:16–18
Can you believe that, in 2023, we are fast approaching one billion people in our world who do not have enough food to eat? There are so many in our world who are facing critical food shortages and the results are devastating. Approximately 850 million people worldwide are estimated to be undernourished, and higher food prices threaten to increase it by another 100 million. That means nearly 1 in 8 people in the world today is hungry or starving. According to data from the United Nations, some 25,000 people die each day from hunger and related causes, including more than 10,000 children.
While no one can fully solve this problem alone, at Lakeshore Community Church we are working to do our part to combat this hunger epidemic. In this series, we’ll learn what God says about how we can help some people move from hunger to hope. We’ll also have an opportunity for everyone to practically do something to help people move from hunger to hope by being a part of the Feed My Starving Children food packing event, and financially supporting it through Making Waves 2024.
