The TRUTH

When you decide to adopt--suddenly a lot of your free time is spent on reading other people's blogs. I came across this blog from a friend of Sheri's. I was disturbed by this blog's facts:

The TRUTH is that there are 147,000,000 orphans in our world today. 147,000,000.

The TRUTH is that 70 percent of these precious children will never have an education.

The TRUTH is that every day, 16,000 children die from hunger related causes. That is 5,840,000 a year.

The TRUTH is that about 1 in every 3 people living today does not have access to clean water.

The TRUTH is that 10,600,000 children under the age of 5 die each year. 54 percent of these deaths are from PREVENTABLE, TREATABLE illnesses.

This blog is a twenty year old young woman ministering to the orphans in Uganda. Check out her blog. It is POWERFUL.
Please pray for the 147 million orphans in the world tonight. 147 million. Our "Hope" is just one of the 147 million.
