Interesting Statistics

We recently made a donation to an orphan ministry in Uganda. We got a thank you letter with some very interesting facts:

Thank you for choosing to be a part of Amazima Ministries. Your contribution is greatly appreciated. This gift will ensure that children in Uganda receive an education, nutritious hot meals, needed medical treatment, and so much more. Your support is not only educating these children, but in many cases keeping them alive.

There are an estimated 40 million orphans living in Sub-Saharan Africa. Ninety percent of orphaned children are malnourished, and 85 percent are not enrolled in school. Seventy percent of children not enrolled in school are involved in sexual behavior, others simply go hungry. Three million of these children will die of malaria this year, a disease easily treated with basic medical care. By supporting Amazima Ministries, you have ensured a brighter future for at least a fraction of these precious, vulnerable children.

THIS SPURS ME ON SO MUCH MORE to put James 1:27 into practice!

James1:27
27Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.

One life can make a difference! Please join me!!!!
