  2. Bread for the World Sunday We join thousands of other Christians across the country as we lift up our voices on behalf of hungry people. Through education, prayer, and worship, we commit ourselves to the fight against hunger and poverty in our country and around the world.

  3. A World in Need • Every day, nearly 16,000 children die from hunger-related causes. That is one child every five seconds. • In developing nations, one out of four persons lives in extreme poverty—on less than $1.25 a day. • In the United States, one in five children lives in a family that struggles to put food on the table.

  4. God’s Heart to Help Hungry People “Speak out for those who cannot speak, for the rights of all the destitute. Speak out, judge righteously, defend the rights of the poor and needy.” —Proverbs 31:8-9

  5. God’s Heart to Help Hungry People Jesus said to them, “For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you gave me clothing, I was sick and you took care of me, I was in prison and you visited me.” —Matthew 25:35-36

  6. Jesus calls us As followers of Jesus Christ, we listen to God’s voice and use our own voices to speak up for an end to hunger. As God’s hands and feet in the world, we can work toward a community in which every person has an equal opportunity to thrive. We have the knowledge and resources to end widespread hunger.

  7. Our Response We can use our voices to challenge our nation’s decision makers to change laws and structures that keep people vulnerable. Bread for the World equips its members and other individuals to personally meet their members of Congress, to call them, and write personal letters and emails.

  8. Bread for the World Bread for the World is a collective Christian voice urging our nation’s decision makers to end hunger at home and abroad.
