poverty

Poverty – according to dictionary.com, “the state or condition of having little or no money, goods, or means of support; condition of being poor; indigence”. Poverty is a huge thing in the world today. I hate that people get paid millions of dollars doing what they love, while people are starving/dying everyday. With the money that some people make could probably feed the world.
WCCO today actually talked about poverty - http://wcco.com/topstories/local_story_048151748.html
WATCH THE VIDEO – in our own state this one guy is making a huge difference in Africa, saving people’s lives and making it more of a clean area to live. This guy started building wells for cleaner water for the people down there. The people used to drink water that cows stood in and just water from a stream. If one state can do this, what would happen if all 50 states did this all over the world?
That is why I love mission work. I am going on my second mission trip (first to Haiti and second to the other side of the Island Dominican Republic). Being a Christian and going on mission trips are awesome and really prove to the poor that you are there to help. Taking mission classes really changed my view on people that live in poverty. The people do not really like us taking pictures because we use those pictures to show how poor they are and how lucky we are. They dress their best to go to church because wearing your best shows honor to God. We dress in whatever we want to go to church because we are lazy, tired, feel that whatever we wear will not dishonor God. I think we should dress up for church. Church is a place where we go to honor and worship God as a family.
57 million people in the world died last year because of poverty, but we have doctors, dentists, food, etc that we have. God created this world for us to love one another not hate or be greedy. I am a poor (in the USA) married college student and we have adopted a child from Bolivia (pay only $36 a month) to help a child get education, food, etc. If every family in the USA did the $36 a month this world would be a healthier/loving world.
