"This Thing Could Catch Like Wildfire!"


That's what a friend told me Saturday as we discussed how if each of us just tells our little "niche" about KAH and the African Relief fundraiser we're doing, it could grow, or rather multiply, as each one simply shares with our "sphere of influence" what God is doing.

I didn't realize then how prophetic her words could be!

Today, I had someone message me that not only would her family attend, but she was e-mailing the info out to some people she knows and her small group. Then, the chiropractor that is participating in the event called to ask for copies of the flyers we're using because he wants to e-mail all of his patient database about the event and how they can participate.

Oh yeah...did I mention he said that's about 500 PEOPLE???

Literally, even if my internet and news articles don't get picked up by the local news media, within the next few days, thousands of people are going to hear of this event. And if nothing else is accomplished on September 11th, that's thousands of people who can no longer pretend like there aren't millions of people at risk for dying due to starvation. That's thousands of people who will have heard of Kids Against Hunger and the great work they do year round...not just during a famine. And that's thousands of people that God's word of loving the impoverished and caring for the destitute and being a voice for those who don't have one will be deeply planted in their souls and He can grow it into a mighty movement of people saying, "No more! We will not sit by any longer while innocent people die, not knowing about the love of God while we could have prevented it!"

So Hallelujiah and Amen! Don't just stand by and watch this fire burn! Pick up a torch and carry it into your neighborhood, your region and yes, even your world! And you will have the blessing of knowing that you obeyed your Abba and He took great delight in you!!

  1. Angela, Thank you for this blog, what an encouragement to me to see you are helping us at KAH. Keep up this great and awesome effort!! I agree with your friend, this could easily catch on....sharing with our sphere of influence. This is inspiration to me as I am at the factory everyday. We have been trying to get the news to pick up our story, but no response yet. You could possibly be our little miracle. Keep working at this. I will pray for you and this effort. THANK YOU!!
