18 pounds

What do you spend your money on each month?  Here are some examples of what you might be spending £18 or more a month on:

• Newspapers & magazines
• Broadband internet access
• 1 (cheap) meal out
• Sky TV
• The gym
• Drinks out with your mates
• 2 or 3 trips to the cinema
• A Chinese takeaway
• Pet food
• Mobile phone bill (mainly text messages!)

How many did you select?  For just £18 you could sponsor a child who is currently living in desperate poverty and really make a difference to their life.

In Proverbs we read these words :

"The poor are shunned even by their neighbours, but the rich have many friends.  He who despises his neighbour sins, but blessed is he who is kind to the needy....whoever is kind to the needy honours God."

World poverty is a huge problem and for the vast majority of us, making any noticeable difference to the situation is beyond us.  But God isn't calling us to solve the problem.  He's calling us to do what we can - to show our faith in action - to have COMPASSION on those who are not as fortunate as we are.
