8%

I do not like to talk about percentages especially when it comes to children because it can soon turn a child into a statistic rather than a real person, but this does make one think. Especially if that person considers his or her self to be a Christ follower.

147,000,000 Orphans in this world.
11,000,000 Children starve to death or die of preventable deceases every year.
8,500,000 Children are sold into slavery or prostitution.
2,500,000 Have H.I.V.
     That is a total of 
169,000.000 Suffering children.

"STAGGERING ISN'T IT?"

2,500,000,000 people in this world profess to be Christians.

If my math is correct if 8% of those of us that profess to be Christians would reach out to just one 1 of these hurting children all 169,000,000 of these children would be taken care of.

"STAGGERING ISN'T IT?"

"I have often though about asking God why he allows so much pain and suffering in this world, but I don't dare to because I am afraid that He might ask me the same question."
