FCCB member Liz McBride has been paying close attention to the famine and refugee situation in Somalia. She encourages us to contribute financially:
FCCB says “Imagine another world is possible.” Imagine it.
I had recently donated to the United Nations High Commission for Refugees for Somali refugees. Then on Sunday, July 31, I saw Phil Porter’s video of the “Loaves and Fishes” story at First Church. It told the old story of Jesus feeding the 5000 in pictures and words. I was so inspired, and I felt the need in Somalia so deeply that I decided to give $365 to this every pay day for the rest of the year, because I can. If we each do what we can the hungry will have food, and clean water.
In one week, UNHCR moved 5000 refugees to safety and is supplying food. Feeding the 5000! I chose UNHCR because they are already mobilized, already committed, and large enough to reach so many quickly.
So when I imagine another world is possible, I know it can be. Let’s get a million to give. Spread the word and we can make it happen!
