"If a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily food,

It's been said, "When America sneezes, the world catches a cold." So what happens to the world when America has pneumonia? The media report an endless stream of bad news. Banks and businesses are failing. Unemployment is high and rising. The stock market is in shambles. Everyone wants a bail-out from the government - but that government is us: "We, the People". We all know deep down who's really going to pay for it all.

At times like these it's easy to become self-centered, to forget about others. Many are looking for ways to cut expenses and make their money stretch. Americans are the most charitable people on earth, but when times are hard, human nature takes over and it's "look out for number one." The world suffers when America gets sick.

and one of you says to them, "Depart in peace, be warmed and filled,"

I'm not going to mince words - the brethren in Kenya are dying. Leah Wanjiru and her mother Beatrice have attended God's Church for the last two years. Leah died on the Sabbath of February 28, 2009. She had not eaten in days. She starved to death. No parent should have to bury their own child.

The brethren in Kenya are existing on tea and porridge. Some will boil a mango and drink the "soup" as their only source of nurishment. We have only recently been made aware of the serious nature of this latest famine. Kenya has suffered from drought-induced famine for years, but recent political unrest has made a bad situation worse.

but you do not give them the things which are needed for the body, what does it profit?"

The need is real. You can Google "Kenya famine" and read many articles about the situation over there. I'm not going to put pictures of starving children on this page. They don't need that. They need food and clothing. They need medical attention. They need you.

If you are moved by what you've read, please do whatever you can to help. Your donation would be greatly appreciated and put to good use. Every penny will be sent directly to them. If each of you were able to donate even $5 or $10, we could easily afford to supply most of their needs. Won’t you please help?
