It’s no secret.  I love Ethiopia.  God has filled my heart with this country, these people, and they are dying.  We have to help!!  The following post is from Tom Davis’ blog.  Click the link below to read the whole thing.

Today’s news out of Ethiopia is not new. Millions starving. Millions without food or water. Millions trapped in extreme poverty.

Millions is a concept we’ve accepted in our news reporting. If everyone in Colorado Springs was starving, we wouldn’t quite get to “millions.” Hard to comprehend.

Here’s what I know. CHC’s kids don’t starve. They don’t drink dirty water. They are protected from abuse. They are sheltered from child labor. They are put through school to help develop their potential. Our kids are numbered in the thousands. And guess what? I’ve got 5,000 more who are waiting for a home.

This Christmas, CHC is going to launch a dynamic campaign to bring 5,000 new children into our CarePoint’s throughout Africa. But with today’s news of “millions” starving in Ethiopia, we’ve got to step up our plans a bit. I need to get the feeding centers up and running as soon as possible.
