sitting down at my desk, and I 00:00:12.446 --> 00:00:15.749 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% was viewing the different pieces that I'm gonna share with you 00:00:15.749 --> 00:00:19.953 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% today, and suddenly I was just like this--overwhelmed with this 00:00:19.953 --> 00:00:25.726 align:start line:63% position:44% size:78% sense of how easy it is for me to get caught up in my own life 00:00:25.726 --> 00:00:29.429 align:start line:63% position:47% size:53% at moments and forget the bigger picture. 00:00:29.429 --> 00:00:33.600 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% I found myself sitting there with tears rolling down my face. 00:00:33.600 --> 00:00:37.304 align:start line:63% position:50% size:75% Now, I'll tell you what I did expect, and I'll tell you what 00:00:37.304 --> 00:00:39.373 align:start line:69% position:50% size:61% absolutely blew me away. 00:00:39.373 --> 00:00:41.942 align:start line:69% position:50% size:81% announcer: Next on "Life Today." 00:00:41.942 --> 00:00:51.952 align:start line:85% position:48% size:18% [music] 00:00:51.952 --> 00:00:56.957 align:start line:85% position:48% size:18%

00:01:03.363 --> 00:01:06.166 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% I'm Sheila Walsh, and I'm so glad that you're gonna spend the 00:01:06.166 --> 00:01:07.834 align:start line:69% position:47% size:63% next few minutes with me. 00:01:07.834 --> 00:01:12.105 align:start line:63% position:50% size:65% I have a slight confession to make up front. 00:01:12.105 --> 00:01:14.074 align:start line:63% position:45% size:73% Do you ever have one of those moments when you're kind of 00:01:14.074 --> 00:01:17.945 align:start line:63% position:50% size:75% caught in something that seems important, and then you think 00:01:17.945 --> 00:01:22.182 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% how ridiculous it really is when you put it in perspective of 00:01:22.182 --> 00:01:25.185 align:start line:63% position:45% size:73% everything else, excuse me, that's going on in the world? 00:01:25.185 --> 00:01:28.422 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% So this morning, I don't know why I did this, but I decided to 00:01:28.422 --> 00:01:29.756 align:start line:69% position:48% size:33% weigh myself. 00:01:29.756 --> 00:01:33.560 align:start line:63% position:50% size:75% Never a good thing to do before you've had your coffee. 00:01:33.560 --> 00:01:36.163 align:start line:63% position:44% size:78% And you know, I was kind of frustrated with myself because, 00:01:36.163 --> 00:01:39.499 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% you know, I have all these great ideas of what I'm gonna do and 00:01:39.499 --> 00:01:43.904 align:start line:63% position:44% size:78% how I'm gonna eat healthier and all that stuff, and the scale 00:01:43.904 --> 00:01:47.808 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% basically said to me, "Come back when you're alone," so it was 00:01:47.808 --> 00:01:49.843 align:start line:63% position:50% size:50% clear that things were not going well. 00:01:49.843 --> 00:01:52.746 align:start line:63% position:50% size:65% And then I came downstairs and I thought about today. 00:01:52.746 --> 00:01:55.882 align:start line:63% position:45% size:73% I thought about being here in the studio at Life, and the 00:01:55.882 --> 00:02:01.288 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% incredible privilege I have of a perspective that perhaps some of 00:02:01.288 --> 00:02:02.656 align:start line:69% position:48% size:38% you don't have. 00:02:02.656 --> 00:02:04.691 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% You know, I've been able to travel to different parts of the 00:02:04.691 --> 00:02:09.963 align:start line:63% position:44% size:78% world and see the real needs that are going on, and also see 00:02:09.963 --> 00:02:11.932 align:start line:63% position:48% size:48% the difference that you and I can make. 00:02:11.932 --> 00:02:14.735 align:start line:63% position:50% size:75% And so I was sitting down at my desk, and I was viewing the 00:02:14.735 --> 00:02:17.938 align:start line:63% position:46% size:68% different pieces that I'm gonna share with you today. 00:02:17.938 --> 00:02:21.575 align:start line:63% position:50% size:70% And suddenly I was just like this--overwhelmed with this 00:02:21.575 --> 00:02:27.314 align:start line:63% position:44% size:78% sense of how easy it is for me to get caught up in my own life 00:02:27.314 --> 00:02:31.251 align:start line:63% position:47% size:53% at moments and forget the bigger picture. 00:02:31.251 --> 00:02:35.856 align:start line:63% position:50% size:75% For those of us, for you and I who love Jesus, we are on this 00:02:35.856 --> 00:02:37.724 align:start line:69% position:47% size:53% planet for a purpose. 00:02:37.724 --> 00:02:41.628 align:start line:63% position:44% size:78% We're not just here by accident at this time in human history. 00:02:41.628 --> 00:02:44.331 align:start line:69% position:50% size:65% We are here for a purpose. 00:02:44.331 --> 00:02:45.999 align:start line:69% position:50% size:61% And what is our purpose? 00:02:45.999 --> 00:02:48.435 align:start line:63% position:47% size:63% That's what I began, as I watched the final pieces 00:02:48.435 --> 00:02:52.305 align:start line:63% position:44% size:78% beginning to roll, I found myself sitting there at my desk 00:02:52.305 --> 00:02:55.776 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% with tears rolling down my face, thinking how quickly I could 00:02:55.776 --> 00:02:59.646 align:start line:63% position:45% size:73% have forgotten some of the things that are going on, not 00:02:59.646 --> 00:03:04.785 align:start line:63% position:50% size:75% months ago, not years ago, but at this very moment, and also 00:03:04.785 --> 00:03:08.288 align:start line:63% position:45% size:73% remembering some of the women that I have met on some of 00:03:08.288 --> 00:03:09.623 align:start line:69% position:48% size:23% my trips. 00:03:09.623 --> 00:03:13.226 align:start line:63% position:50% size:75% Now, I'll tell you what I did expect, and I'll tell you what 00:03:13.226 --> 00:03:15.462 align:start line:69% position:50% size:61% absolutely blew me away. 00:03:15.462 --> 00:03:19.132 align:start line:63% position:44% size:78% I knew that the first time that I was flying to Africa and I 00:03:19.132 --> 00:03:23.837 align:start line:63% position:50% size:75% would be on a Mission Feeding trip, I knew that I would have 00:03:23.837 --> 00:03:28.442 align:start line:63% position:50% size:75% to see children who were severely malnourished and were 00:03:28.442 --> 00:03:31.211 align:start line:69% position:44% size:78% hurting, were clinging to life. 00:03:31.211 --> 00:03:35.982 align:start line:63% position:50% size:75% I knew that I would meet their mums, and as a mum myself, 00:03:35.982 --> 00:03:39.719 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% sitting beside them, watching, trying to see through their eyes 00:03:39.719 --> 00:03:42.222 align:start line:69% position:50% size:75% as their little ones struggle. 00:03:42.222 --> 00:03:43.557 align:start line:69% position:50% size:31% I knew that. 00:03:43.557 --> 00:03:47.194 align:start line:63% position:44% size:78% Now, you're never prepared for how brutal it is, but it was in 00:03:47.194 --> 00:03:49.796 align:start line:69% position:50% size:61% my mind and in my heart. 00:03:49.796 --> 00:03:52.432 align:start line:63% position:47% size:53% But here's what I was not prepared for. 00:03:52.432 --> 00:03:58.872 align:start line:63% position:50% size:61% I was not prepared for the praying women I met. 00:03:58.872 --> 00:04:04.778 align:start line:63% position:45% size:73% These women living in abject poverty, with nothing to feed 00:04:04.778 --> 00:04:08.215 align:start line:63% position:50% size:75% their children, they weren't worrying about what they might 00:04:08.215 --> 00:04:10.684 align:start line:69% position:50% size:65% look like in a reflection. 00:04:10.684 --> 00:04:13.987 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% What they were doing was looking at their children who were 00:04:13.987 --> 00:04:17.958 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% suffering, but then what they were doing was they were getting 00:04:17.958 --> 00:04:24.564 align:start line:63% position:44% size:78% on their knees under an African sky and lifting their requests 00:04:24.564 --> 00:04:26.399 align:start line:69% position:50% size:25% up to God. 00:04:26.399 --> 00:04:28.635 align:start line:69% position:50% size:61% These are amazing women. 00:04:28.635 --> 00:04:30.337 align:start line:63% position:48% size:48% I want you to meet one or two of them. 00:04:30.337 --> 00:04:32.339 align:start line:69% position:48% size:28% Watch this. 00:04:32.405 --> 00:04:40.480 align:start line:85% position:48% size:18% [music] 00:04:40.480 --> 00:04:43.550 align:start line:63% position:50% size:75% Sheila: When I'm on a missions trip, my heart is continually 00:04:43.550 --> 00:04:46.119 align:start line:63% position:47% size:63% touched by mothers facing some of life's most 00:04:46.119 --> 00:04:48.121 align:start line:69% position:47% size:58% devastating situations. 00:04:48.121 --> 00:04:50.123 align:start line:10% position:46% size:68% [speaking foreign language] 00:05:07.908 --> 00:05:10.043 align:start line:69% position:47% size:58% Sheila: This is Armida. 00:05:10.043 --> 00:05:13.547 align:start line:63% position:50% size:75% Can you begin to imagine the crushing impact of losing your 00:05:13.547 --> 00:05:16.416 align:start line:63% position:50% size:50% children because you could not feed them? 00:05:16.416 --> 00:05:20.687 align:start line:63% position:44% size:78% It was devastating for Armida, but she knows she must carry on 00:05:20.687 --> 00:05:22.422 align:start line:69% position:47% size:58% for her other children. 00:05:22.422 --> 00:05:23.890 align:start line:69% position:47% size:58% How does she manage it? 00:05:23.890 --> 00:05:25.892 align:start line:69% position:47% size:58% Through fervent prayer. 00:05:42.275 --> 00:05:45.078 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% Sheila: I would love to tell you Armida's story of losing her 00:05:45.078 --> 00:05:50.450 align:start line:63% position:45% size:73% children because of a lack of food is rare, but it is not. 00:05:50.450 --> 00:05:54.120 align:start line:63% position:50% size:75% These women, by show of hands, shared how many children they 00:05:54.120 --> 00:05:55.689 align:start line:69% position:50% size:35% each had lost. 00:05:55.689 --> 00:05:58.558 align:start line:63% position:47% size:58% They well know the same heartache as Armida. 00:06:01.595 --> 00:06:04.231 align:start line:69% position:45% size:73% Mandelena lost five children. 00:06:07.867 --> 00:06:09.769 align:start line:69% position:48% size:48% Yngo, two children. 00:06:13.607 --> 00:06:15.976 align:start line:69% position:47% size:53% Margarita, one child. 00:06:20.213 --> 00:06:24.718 align:start line:69% position:50% size:56% Julia, three children. 00:06:24.718 --> 00:06:28.355 align:start line:63% position:50% size:75% One thing all these precious mothers have in common through 00:06:28.355 --> 00:06:32.525 align:start line:63% position:45% size:73% prayer is they put their hope for tomorrow in the hands 00:06:32.525 --> 00:06:34.127 align:start line:69% position:48% size:23% of Jesus. 00:06:34.127 --> 00:06:39.065 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% Sheila: I will never forget that here, in this village, my sister 00:06:39.065 --> 00:06:42.936 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% in Christ gets down on her knees, even though she might not 00:06:42.936 --> 00:06:46.606 align:start line:63% position:50% size:70% be kneeling on a carpet, she might be kneeling on sand or 00:06:46.606 --> 00:06:51.444 align:start line:63% position:44% size:78% dirt, but we are thanking the same God for his provision that 00:06:51.444 --> 00:06:56.049 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% day, in absolute confidence that the God who is with us today 00:06:56.049 --> 00:06:58.184 align:start line:69% position:47% size:63% will be with us tomorrow. 00:06:58.184 --> 00:07:00.987 align:start line:69% position:50% size:61% God is moving in Africa. 00:07:00.987 --> 00:07:03.456 align:start line:63% position:47% size:53% And you and I, we get to be a part of it. 00:07:03.456 --> 00:07:09.796 align:start line:85% position:48% size:18% [music] 00:07:12.499 --> 00:07:15.568 align:start line:69% position:44% size:78% Sheila: I love what James said. 00:07:15.568 --> 00:07:18.772 align:start line:63% position:44% size:78% "If you want an answer to prayer, be an answer to someone 00:07:18.772 --> 00:07:20.573 align:start line:69% position:48% size:38% else's prayer." 00:07:20.573 --> 00:07:25.578 align:start line:63% position:50% size:75% You know, that very first trip that I took left an impact on 00:07:25.578 --> 00:07:29.783 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% me, but honestly, it has only increased, because the situation 00:07:29.783 --> 00:07:33.420 align:start line:63% position:50% size:70% in so many of those areas of the world is getting worse 00:07:33.420 --> 00:07:34.754 align:start line:69% position:50% size:25% and worse. 00:07:34.754 --> 00:07:38.858 align:start line:63% position:44% size:78% And it's almost this--the great irony of a place like Africa is 00:07:38.858 --> 00:07:43.930 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% you can have one area where it's devastation because of flooding, 00:07:43.930 --> 00:07:47.233 align:start line:63% position:45% size:73% and then you can have another area where it's devastation 00:07:47.233 --> 00:07:50.870 align:start line:63% position:47% size:63% because they haven't seen rain in over a year. 00:07:50.870 --> 00:07:54.574 align:start line:63% position:44% size:78% And I've watched--these mothers are not women who sit around 00:07:54.574 --> 00:07:58.311 align:start line:63% position:45% size:73% hoping that someone will come and give them a handout. 00:07:58.311 --> 00:08:03.216 align:start line:63% position:44% size:78% No, I have watched them digging through the dirt, looking for 00:08:03.216 --> 00:08:06.586 align:start line:63% position:47% size:58% anything that they could give their child. 00:08:06.586 --> 00:08:10.156 align:start line:63% position:44% size:78% You know, the first lady that that we saw there on that first 00:08:10.156 --> 00:08:13.560 align:start line:63% position:45% size:73% piece, did you notice she had the name "Jesus" written on 00:08:13.560 --> 00:08:14.894 align:start line:69% position:48% size:33% her headband? 00:08:14.894 --> 00:08:17.797 align:start line:63% position:50% size:75% And one of the things I was so struck by was she said, you 00:08:17.797 --> 00:08:22.836 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% know, "At the end of the day, we thank the Lord for his provision 00:08:22.836 --> 00:08:24.637 align:start line:69% position:50% size:45% for one more day." 00:08:24.637 --> 00:08:29.576 align:start line:63% position:50% size:45% And what they have is almost nothing. 00:08:29.576 --> 00:08:33.613 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% But I think sometimes, when you literally have nothing, and then 00:08:33.613 --> 00:08:38.618 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% you find a little something, you're so aware of the fact that 00:08:38.618 --> 00:08:41.821 align:start line:63% position:47% size:58% your dependence is completely on the Lord. 00:08:41.821 --> 00:08:43.890 align:start line:63% position:47% size:53% And perhaps we forget that, you know? 00:08:43.890 --> 00:08:49.062 align:start line:63% position:50% size:75% We have so much that we forget that literally every good gift 00:08:49.062 --> 00:08:51.564 align:start line:69% position:50% size:50% comes from the Lord. 00:08:51.564 --> 00:08:56.636 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% But watching our sisters on their knees praying, you know, I 00:08:56.636 --> 00:08:59.038 align:start line:63% position:50% size:75% read something, I used to work with an organization called 00:08:59.038 --> 00:09:02.442 align:start line:63% position:50% size:61% Tearfund in England, and I get their newsletter. 00:09:02.442 --> 00:09:07.113 align:start line:63% position:50% size:75% And I read it this morning, and it said this: "Poverty and 00:09:07.113 --> 00:09:13.052 align:start line:63% position:47% size:53% malnutrition is never God's will, we are." 00:09:13.052 --> 00:09:16.756 align:start line:63% position:48% size:43% We are the answer to those prayers. 00:09:16.756 --> 00:09:18.758 align:start line:63% position:50% size:75% You know, sometimes we think that, you know, "Well, I could 00:09:18.758 --> 00:09:21.728 align:start line:63% position:44% size:78% never go and be a missionary," and, you know, the Lord doesn't 00:09:21.728 --> 00:09:23.129 align:start line:69% position:50% size:65% need all of us to do that. 00:09:23.129 --> 00:09:27.734 align:start line:63% position:44% size:78% We have our partners who are on the ground right now, waiting, 00:09:27.734 --> 00:09:33.973 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% because we've made a commitment at Life to feed 350,000 children 00:09:33.973 --> 00:09:35.308 align:start line:69% position:50% size:25% this year. 00:09:35.308 --> 00:09:38.378 align:start line:63% position:46% size:68% And when we talk to our partners, we tell them, you 00:09:38.378 --> 00:09:40.814 align:start line:63% position:50% size:61% know, "We'll present the need, we'll help our 00:09:40.814 --> 00:09:42.182 align:start line:69% position:48% size:48% people understand." 00:09:42.182 --> 00:09:45.785 align:start line:63% position:50% size:65% So that's what I'm asking, if we'll all do something. 00:09:45.785 --> 00:09:50.089 align:start line:63% position:50% size:75% Thirty dollars will feed three children for three months. 00:09:50.089 --> 00:09:53.993 align:start line:63% position:45% size:73% You can't feed three children with $30 in a restaurant in 1 00:09:53.993 --> 00:09:55.562 align:start line:69% position:48% size:28% night here. 00:09:55.562 --> 00:09:58.198 align:start line:69% position:47% size:63% $50 will feed 5 children. 00:09:58.198 --> 00:10:04.037 align:start line:63% position:50% size:65% $100 will feed 10 children for three whole months. 00:10:04.037 --> 00:10:06.473 align:start line:58% position:44% size:78% One of my friends has started a campaign that I love, and it's 00:10:06.473 --> 00:10:07.841 align:start line:63% position:48% size:38% called Skip It. 00:10:07.841 --> 00:10:12.812 align:start line:58% position:45% size:73% Skip one thing that you don't need, to be able to give 00:10:12.812 --> 00:10:16.816 align:start line:58% position:50% size:75% children something they literally cannot live without. 00:10:16.816 --> 00:10:18.785 align:start line:58% position:46% size:68% And you know, sometimes we think, "Well, how did these 00:10:18.785 --> 00:10:20.220 align:start line:63% position:48% size:38% crises happen?" 00:10:20.220 --> 00:10:23.122 align:start line:58% position:50% size:61% You know, what led up to those children being in 00:10:23.122 --> 00:10:24.491 align:start line:63% position:48% size:38% that situation? 00:10:24.491 --> 00:10:26.860 align:start line:63% position:50% size:75% Well, that's a great question. 00:10:26.860 --> 00:10:30.096 align:start line:58% position:50% size:81% Would you watch this, and I think it'll answer that question 00:10:30.096 --> 00:10:31.464 align:start line:63% position:50% size:21% for you. 00:10:31.464 --> 00:10:33.366 align:start line:63% position:48% size:28% Watch this. 00:10:33.366 --> 00:10:36.002 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% Isak Pretorius: People often ask me, "What does crisis look like? 00:10:36.002 --> 00:10:39.439 align:start line:63% position:45% size:73% When you say there's a crisis in the field, what is that?" 00:10:39.439 --> 00:10:42.542 align:start line:69% position:50% size:75% This is the picture of crisis. 00:10:42.542 --> 00:10:46.045 align:start line:63% position:50% size:61% Mother after mother here in a screening clinic 00:10:46.045 --> 00:10:47.380 align:start line:69% position:48% size:43% for malnutrition. 00:10:47.380 --> 00:10:49.115 align:start line:63% position:50% size:45% You can see how overcrowded it is. 00:10:49.115 --> 00:10:51.951 align:start line:63% position:46% size:68% Mothers that have come here in absolute desperation. 00:10:51.951 --> 00:10:55.989 align:start line:63% position:46% size:68% Crisis is when there's more mothers than we can handle. 00:10:55.989 --> 00:10:59.726 align:start line:63% position:46% size:68% Crisis is when there is not enough food for each and 00:10:59.726 --> 00:11:01.060 align:start line:69% position:50% size:31% every child. 00:11:01.060 --> 00:11:05.331 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% Crisis is when the silent killer of malnutrition comes in and 00:11:05.331 --> 00:11:09.002 align:start line:63% position:50% size:75% starts to literally rob the lives of each and every one of 00:11:09.002 --> 00:11:10.336 align:start line:69% position:48% size:38% these children. 00:11:10.336 --> 00:11:13.039 align:start line:63% position:50% size:70% But I need you to understand where that crisis starts. 00:11:13.039 --> 00:11:14.407 align:start line:69% position:50% size:56% It doesn't start here. 00:11:14.407 --> 00:11:17.277 align:start line:63% position:50% size:65% This is where it ends, and many times it ends with a 00:11:17.277 --> 00:11:18.845 align:start line:69% position:50% size:35% tragic ending. 00:11:18.845 --> 00:11:21.314 align:start line:63% position:50% size:56% But this crisis starts out in the village. 00:11:21.314 --> 00:11:24.517 align:start line:63% position:50% size:75% It starts because of failed crops due to the worst drought 00:11:24.517 --> 00:11:26.619 align:start line:69% position:47% size:63% in 40 years in this area. 00:11:26.619 --> 00:11:30.623 align:start line:63% position:44% size:78% It starts because a mother is not able to produce enough food 00:11:30.623 --> 00:11:32.358 align:start line:69% position:48% size:48% to feed her family. 00:11:32.358 --> 00:11:37.730 align:start line:63% position:50% size:75% It starts because a child goes to bed without a meal that day 00:11:37.730 --> 00:11:41.067 align:start line:69% position:50% size:65% and the next and the next. 00:11:41.067 --> 00:11:45.405 align:start line:69% position:44% size:78% That is how this crisis starts. 00:11:45.405 --> 00:11:48.808 align:start line:63% position:50% size:75% It's not because these mothers are not doing everything they 00:11:48.808 --> 00:11:51.811 align:start line:63% position:50% size:45% can to provide for their children. 00:11:51.811 --> 00:11:56.649 align:start line:63% position:47% size:58% It's because everything they can is not enough. 00:11:56.649 --> 00:11:58.885 align:start line:69% position:44% size:78% How do we change that? you ask. 00:11:58.885 --> 00:12:02.288 align:start line:63% position:50% size:70% We change it by reaching the mothers out in the villages. 00:12:02.288 --> 00:12:06.693 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% We change it by bringing Mission Feeding to those mothers, 00:12:06.693 --> 00:12:10.797 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% providing that bowl of food each and every day, the nutrients 00:12:10.797 --> 00:12:12.398 align:start line:69% position:50% size:56% that that child needs. 00:12:12.398 --> 00:12:15.435 align:start line:63% position:44% size:78% That's how we avert this crisis, not here in the clinic. 00:12:15.435 --> 00:12:19.439 align:start line:63% position:47% size:63% By the time we get here, many times it's too late. 00:12:19.439 --> 00:12:23.676 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% So please, help us today to take Mission Feeding to the mothers 00:12:23.676 --> 00:12:25.011 align:start line:69% position:50% size:50% out in the villages. 00:12:25.011 --> 00:12:28.815 align:start line:63% position:44% size:78% I can give you a guarantee that we will literally bring hope to 00:12:28.815 --> 00:12:33.953 align:start line:63% position:50% size:56% those mothers and life to those children. 00:12:33.953 --> 00:12:36.856 align:start line:69% position:50% size:56% Sheila: Hope and life. 00:12:36.856 --> 00:12:42.462 align:start line:63% position:44% size:78% That's the Kingdom of God, that Jesus came to give life to each 00:12:42.462 --> 00:12:46.766 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% one of us, and because of the hope that we have been given, we 00:12:46.766 --> 00:12:49.268 align:start line:63% position:50% size:50% get to reach out and make a difference. 00:12:49.268 --> 00:12:53.640 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% And I could almost guarantee that if you and I could get on a 00:12:53.640 --> 00:12:57.644 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% flight tomorrow and fly over there, and you saw with your own 00:12:57.644 --> 00:13:01.814 align:start line:63% position:44% size:78% eyes what was going on, you would do everything within your 00:13:01.814 --> 00:13:06.653 align:start line:63% position:50% size:70% power to help alleviate the suffering of these children. 00:13:06.653 --> 00:13:09.956 align:start line:63% position:50% size:75% But the great thing is, that's why we bring these stories to 00:13:09.956 --> 00:13:13.126 align:start line:63% position:44% size:78% you, because it's not practical for us all to get on a flight 00:13:13.126 --> 00:13:14.494 align:start line:69% position:48% size:18% and go. 00:13:14.494 --> 00:13:15.828 align:start line:69% position:50% size:81% So we bring the children to you. 00:13:15.828 --> 00:13:19.666 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% That precious little one at the end, you know, when you see that 00:13:19.666 --> 00:13:23.336 align:start line:63% position:44% size:78% skin peeling away, that's one of the effects of malnutrition, 00:13:23.336 --> 00:13:26.406 align:start line:63% position:50% size:75% where there's simply not enough nutrients or protein in 00:13:26.406 --> 00:13:27.740 align:start line:69% position:48% size:23% the body. 00:13:27.740 --> 00:13:31.444 align:start line:63% position:50% size:75% What we want to do and Isak, I mean, we love working with the 00:13:31.444 --> 00:13:32.979 align:start line:69% position:48% size:43% Pretorius family. 00:13:32.979 --> 00:13:36.249 align:start line:63% position:44% size:78% His

line:63% position:45% size:73% But the thing that we want to do is we want to get to the 00:13:40.853 --> 00:13:45.792 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% villages before the children end up in the malnutrition clinics. 00:13:45.792 --> 00:13:47.126 align:start line:69% position:48% size:43% And we can do it. 00:13:47.126 --> 00:13:50.596 align:start line:58% position:50% size:65% And so I'm asking you, I'm asking you to help us. 00:13:50.596 --> 00:13:55.568 align:start line:58% position:45% size:73% We want to feed 350,000 children, and we've broken it 00:13:55.568 --> 00:13:58.604

size:75% But for today we will do the first distribution, God bless. 00:19:23.729 --> 00:19:27.033 align:start line:79% position:50% size:75% announcer: There are many more villages just like this one. 00:19:27.033 --> 00:19:30.269 align:start line:79% position:50% size:70% The record drought has left countless children and their 00:19:30.269 --> 00:19:34.974 align:start line:79% position:50%

cry of those 00:19:39.011 --> 00:19:41.013 align:start line:85% position:50% size:35% in great need. 00:19:43.282 --> 00:19:53.292 align:start line:10% position:48% size:18% [music] 00:19:53.292 -->

00:20:00.699 --> 00:20:02.902 align:start line:63% position:50% size:65% sometimes, "Do you ever get a chance to go back to 00:20:02.902 --> 00:20:04.236 align:start line:69% position:50% size:41% those villages?" 00:20:04.236 --> 00:20:06.105 align:start line:63% position:45% size:73% You know, "You show us a situation, do you ever get to 00:20:06.105 --> 00:20:07.440 align:start line:69% position:48% size:23% go back?" 00:20:07.440 --> 00:20:10.376 align:start line:63% position:50% size:75% And so we really wanted you to see that very immediate answer 00:20:10.376 --> 00:20:13.946 align:start line:63% position:50% size:75% to prayer, that darling woman crying out, "If you don't come 00:20:13.946 --> 00:20:15.448 align:start line:69% position:48% size:48% back, we will die." 00:20:15.448 --> 00:20:18.984 align:start line:63% position:44% size:78% And three weeks later, Isak was able to go back with the team. 00:20:18.984 --> 00:20:22.988 align:start line:63% position:50% size:75% But let me tell you, there are women in hundreds of other 00:20:22.988 --> 00:20:28.260 align:start line:63% position:50% size:75% villages, and their cry is the same, and the need is now. 00:20:28.260 --> 00:20:32.098 align:start line:10% position:47% size:58% And we can only do this if you will help us. 00:20:32.098 --> 00:20:36.402 align:start line:10% position:50% size:81% We've promised 350,000 children, that's our commitment. 00:20:36.402 --> 00:20:39.705 align:start line:10% position:44% size:78% We would love to blow that out of the water, honestly, because 00:20:39.705 --> 00:20:42.208 align:start line:10% position:47% size:53% the need is so great. 00:20:42.208 --> 00:20:45.778 align:start line:10% position:50% size:70% And if those of us who claim the name of Christ took that 00:20:45.778 --> 00:20:51.417 align:start line:10% position:50% size:81% seriously in terms of when Jesus said, "I was hungry, and you 00:20:51.417 --> 00:20:52.751 align:start line:10% position:48% size:18% fed me. 00:20:52.751 --> 00:20:55.754 align:start line:10% position:48% size:48% I was thirsty, and you gave me water." 00:20:55.754 --> 00:21:00.693 align:start line:10% position:50% size:81% Whenever we reach out in Jesus's name, it's as if we're literally 00:21:00.693 --> 00:21:04.463 align:start line:10% position:44% size:78% feeding the Lord, reaching out and touching him, because he is 00:21:04.463 --> 00:21:07.600 align:start line:10% position:47% size:53% with those who are hungry and suffering. 00:21:07.600 --> 00:21:09.368 align:start line:10% position:48% size:48% That's where you always found Jesus. 00:21:09.368 --> 00:21:12.738 align:start line:58% position:50% size:75% He was always with the broken, with the downtrodden, with 00:21:12.738 --> 00:21:14.206 align:start line:63% position:50% size:35% the forgotten. 00:21:14.206 --> 00:21:17.576 align:start line:58% position:50% size:81% But whenever we go into these villages, we tell them, "You are 00:21:17.576 --> 00:21:18.944 align:start line:63% position:50% size:35% not forgotten. 00:21:18.944 --> 00:21:21.780 align:start line:58% position:50% size:61% We will come back and we will tell your stories." 00:21:21.780 --> 00:21:26.585 align:start line:58% position:50% size:81% And it's the most glorious thing in the world to be able to then 00:21:26.585 --> 00:21:30.856 align:start line:58% position:44% size:78% go back and let them see, we're not just coming to tell you 00:21:30.856 --> 00:21:32.925 align:start line:63% position:50% size:65% about a God who loves you. 00:21:32.925 --> 00:21:37.463 align:start line:58% position:50% size:75% First of all, we're gonna come and show you how he loves you, 00:21:37.463 --> 00:21:41.200 align:start line:58% position:50% size:81% that we're gonna help feed you, help take care of your children. 00:21:41.200 --> 00:21:44.403 align:start line:58% position:50% size:75% So often we set up the feeding programs in the school, so the 00:21:44.403 --> 00:21:47.840 align:start line:58% position:44% size:78% children have to come to school to get their meal, and then it 00:21:47.840 --> 00:21:51.744 align:start line:58% position:45% size:73% breaks that cycle of poverty and illiteracy that goes from 00:21:51.744 --> 00:21:53.646 align:start line:63% position:47% size:63% generation to generation. 00:21:53.646 --> 00:21:57.216 align:start line:58% position:44% size:78% We believe, we're believing that in that great continent of 00:21:57.216 --> 00:22:01.921 align:start line:58% position:44% size:78% Africa, that God is gonna raise up men and women to be leaders 00:22:01.921 --> 00:22:06.892 align:start line:58% position:44% size:78% in their nations, but it starts with something so simple. 00:22:06.892 --> 00:22:10.596 align:start line:58% position:50% size:81% It starts with you, and it starts with me saying, "Yep, I'm 00:22:10.596 --> 00:22:14.133 align:start line:58% position:44% size:78% not just gonna sit and watch this, I'm actually gonna go and 00:22:14.133 --> 00:22:18.704 align:start line:58% position:44% size:78% pick up my phone, and I'm gonna dial that number on the screen, 00:22:18.704 --> 00:22:21.340 align:start line:58% position:50% size:45% and I'm gonna make a commitment." 00:22:21.340 --> 00:22:25.611 align:start line:58% position:50% size:81% Even just $30, that would feed three children for three months. 00:22:25.611 --> 00:22:30.883 align:start line:58% position:50% size:75% If you were able to give $100, that would feed ten children. 00:22:30.883 --> 00:22:34.253 align:start line:58% position:45% size:73% And if God has really blessed you and you think, "You know 00:22:34.253 --> 00:22:37.923 align:start line:58% position:46% size:68% what, I could give $1,000," some of you could do that. 00:22:37.923 --> 00:22:42.695 align:start line:58% position:44% size:78% Do you know that that would feed 100 children for 3 months? 00:22:42.695 --> 00:22:44.530 align:start line:63% position:50% size:61% I mean, what a blessing. 00:22:44.530 --> 00:22:47.900 align:start line:58% position:50% size:81% You know, so often I think we forget that we're on this planet 00:22:47.900 --> 00:22:50.970 align:start line:58% position:50% size:65% just for a short time, you know, it's like a vapor. 00:22:50.970 --> 00:22:54.206 align:start line:58% position:47% size:63% And then one day, Jesus is coming back and we are 00:22:54.206 --> 00:22:55.708 align:start line:63% position:48% size:28% going home. 00:22:55.708 --> 00:23:00.012 align:start line:58% position:50% size:81% And wouldn't it be wonderful to see so many children, faces from 00:23:00.012 --> 00:23:05.417 align:start line:58% position:50% size:81% around the world, who could say, "I am here because you reached 00:23:05.417 --> 00:23:07.286 align:start line:63% position:47% size:53% out in Jesus's name"? 00:23:07.286 --> 00:23:09.922 align:start

00:25:59.591 --> 00:26:01.794 align:start line:53% position:47% size:58% are still losing their children because of the 00:26:01.794 --> 00:26:03.629 align:start line:58% position:50% size:50% devastating drought. 00:26:03.629 --> 00:26:05.197 align:start line:58% position:50% size:70% But today is a fabulous day. 00:26:05.197 --> 00:26:08.267 align:start line:53% position:45% size:73% It's a day of celebration, because Mission Feeding is in 00:26:08.267 --> 00:26:09.635 align:start line:58% position:48% size:33% this village. 00:26:09.635 --> 00:26:12.404 align:start line:53%

00:26:17.509 --> 00:26:21.513 align:start line:53% position:44% size:78% have in my mind every mother we've talked to this week who's 00:26:21.513 --> 00:26:22.948 align:start line:58% position:48% size:33% lost a child. 00:26:22.948 --> 00:26:25.951 align:start line:53% position:50% size:45% And so I'm asking you, do not delay. 00:26:25.951 --> 00:26:29.421 align:start line:53% position:50%
