Today, Tearfund and another 100 organisations are launching a new campaign, which states that 'there is enough food for everyone IF' world leaders take the right action together.
We can all play our part in promoting this campaign, which will change the lives of the world's poorest and most vulnerable.
I am reminded of the the ministry of Jesus. 'About this time another large crowd had gathered, and the people ran out of food again. Jesus called his disciples and told them, “I feel sorry for these people. They have been here with me for three days, and they have nothing left to eat. If I send them home hungry, they will faint along the way. For some of them have come a long distance.” His disciples replied, “How are we supposed to find enough food to feed them out here in the wilderness?” Jesus asked, “How much bread do you have?” “Seven loaves,” they replied.' (Mark 8.1-5)
What followed was the feeding of the crowd of 4000, with the meagre supplies which the disciples managed to gather.
In the hands of Jesus, the little that we can offer can and will be multiplied, so that a real difference is made for those who have less than enough. By joining the IF campaign, we can make a difference too.
It is for that reason that I have already signed up in support. What will you do? As Tearfund says, 'Will you click Tearfund.org/enoughfoodif and join our biggest campaign since Make Poverty History?
Best wishes,
Richard
