2nd Posting, His Hands and Feet

I'm not sure if anyone is reading my conversations with Jesus, but man do I hope so, b/c maybe 1 purpose of this blog is to become His Hands and Feet in serving the needs of His people.  As I was reading George Bush's book (whom u may have been a supporter of his or not), Decision Points, a book filled with nothing but compassion and love for his country, its people and the out reaching of generosity and heartfelt sincerity for Gods people; the poor, the orphaned and the widowed, all of which God commands us to take care of.  Bush, being a man of strong religion and God fearing, every choice made was in the best interest of the United States of America.  This is what brings me to my brief, but powerful, conversation with Jesus."Whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.", said Jesus.  Fulfulling the needs of the suffering.  In the book, The Hole in the Gospel by Richard Stearns, president of World Vision, a humanitarian organization, motivated by faith in Jesus Christ, serves alongside the poor and oppressed as a demonstration of God's unconditional love for all people.  It provides hope and peace for the poor, needy and orphaned thru volunteer funding and sponsorships for children and community needs to provide basic survival ...such as health clinics and wells for clean drinking water.  This book changed my life last year, matter of fact I really ought to read it each year as a reminder of just how fortunate I am.  In this book, along with many shocking statistics, one that has continued to stand out is the fact that if every Christian who attends church would donate just $1, we could closely end hunger ( I don't remember the exact %, so I do apologize), but can u imagine.....if we each give $1, just $1, we could feed the mouths of starving, crying orphans and malnutrioned pregnant mothers who have most likely been raped and r most likely infected with aids, medications, clean drinking water and some form of shelter.  Lets become His Hands and Feet and help these people in need, in the US and other countries.  I have no idea what God's plan is, only where He wants me start, so here we go....I challenge each of you who are out there, if any, to start collecting $1 from each member of your congregation and submit it to World Vision, PO Box 9716, Dept W, Federal Way, WA 98063-9716; email: info@world vision.org; or to learn about World Vision go to www.worldvision.org.  Lets c what we can do thru His Hands and Feet.......
