I saw this video on one of my favorite blogs. Angel has such an amazing heart and passion for orphans and the issues of poverty and suffering around the world, and she always does a great job of challenging me to really think about what being a follower of Christ looks like. She and her husband started an organization called Red Letters Campaign, so be sure to check it out!
The stats in the video are pretty shocking and honestly make me look at my "small" purchases in a completely different light. Sometimes it feels like the issues of poverty are just too big, but when it's put into this perspective you realize that is not that we lack the ability for change, but rather the will to do it.

James 1:27 Religion 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

God is wise, Gary Ezzo...not so much.
"This is not about charity in the end, is it? It's about justice. The good news yet to come. I just want to repeat that: This is not about charity, it's about justice. And that's too bad. Because we're good at charity. American's, Irish people, are good at charity. We like to give, and we give a lot, even those who can't afford it. But justice is a higher standard. Africa makes a fool of our idea of justice; it makes a farce of our idea of equality. It mocks our pieties; it doubts our concern, and it quetions our committment. Six and a half thousand Africans are still dying every day of preventable, treatable disease, for lack of drugs we can buy at any drug store. This is not about charity. This is about Justice and Equality" -Bono
