Please pray for them that God gives them strength to make them hold on their faith. God’s provision for their daily needs and comfort in the midst of tribulation.

 Pray for them daily in our personal prayer time.

A Billion Starving People by Keith Green

          I love this song… I first heard this song last December 2011 wherein it awakens mind. I’m sharing the lyrics of this song for you to read and internalize the meaning of it while listening. 
          This is a good wake-up call to all Christians. Do not ignore those souls who are lost and are in need to hear the Gospel and come to know Jesus Christ. This song is a good reminder for us to continue and be persistent in sharing the love of God. Do not ignore God’s calling. We are his hands and feet. 
          We need to wake up and go to the needy ones.
          We have no choice! Let us not ignore His calling! NO exemption! Go out from your comfort zone.
          Enjoy listening! :) 



 
A Billion Starving People

I find it hard to turn away, a billion starving people,
But what can one do, I've heard you say - you can't save someone's life
I want to save a life today, I want to get someone close with my Father.
Be them the bread of life today, I want to help them get stronger, help them last longer
And give them a chance to see Jesus.

I find it hard to just ignore, the murdered unborn children,
Yes times have changed, but still God warns, you shall not take a life.
I want to save a life today, I want to keep one alive for my Father,
Who will avenge the blood!
Of weak and helpless ones someday - whose lives are spilled out like water, 
Lambs in the slaughter, and each one is handmade by Jesus.

I find it hard to turn away, a billion starving people, a billion starving people.
