Marc Tindall, missionary in Honduras, posted the following as his Facebook status recently.
If you have kids - Have they ever been hungry and you could not give them anything because there was nothing in the house and no money to buy anything? What would you do, would you steal to feed your kids? Where would you draw the line? Would you work in the dump? Would you prostitute yourself? Would you try to escape? Would you give your kids away?
Honduras is a nation that has a poverty rate of 70%, abject poverty is more than 1/2 of those in poverty, and 50%+ unemployed. Little girls with no man in the house are becoming pregnant at 13 - 15 years old.
Hungry people need food and hope and likely won't listen to the message of hope if their bodies are crying out for food - especially if their kids are hungry.
