Rob runs through the numbers most of us have heard so many times we have become numb to them:
- approximately 1 billion people in the World do NOT have clean water
- the same number of people live on less than $1 per day.
- To provide basic food, water, health, etc for the WHOLE ENTIRE POPUALATION OF THE WORLD it would only take $20 billion dollars.
I know we as a family went mini-golfing on Friday night and then to Dairy Queen. The purpose isn't to guilt us into giving...
- although guilt does work on some people :-)
- but to motivate us to think about all our actions
- who ignore environmenal issues;
- who are not concerned for social justice in our world;
- who fail to see sin as anything more than personal sin... ignoring systemic issues;
- who will give to world relief issues but ignore the poor among us;
- who do not wrestle with what it means to be Christians in a holistic sense.

Great post. Christians CAN make a difference.
Where to start. Sometimes it just seems so overwhelming....
I'm excited to see there appears to be a movement with Christians to have more of an impact in our world.
I hope we start to see a big difference soon.
I think sometimes we fail to start because as Scott says "it just seems to overwhelming".
Start with little things.
Speak up.
Recyle.
