Dear Sponsor,

I was recently with my friend Jim Wallis when he shared a conversation that he had with his nine year old son, Luke.

Luke had heard Jim telling a Sojourners audience about the 30,000 children in the world who die every day from hunger or malnutrition. In Luke's prayer before going to bed that night he told his Dad that he wanted to pray for those children that “somehow they might have a meal tomorrow.” After praying for that, he paused and added “but that's not likely to happen.”

Luke continued to pray saying, “Lord, at least give them the best day of their lives tomorrow.” He paused again and said, “but that's not likely to happen either is it?”

Finally, Luke prayed “Lord, help me and all of us to do something about these hungry children.”

Thank you for doing your part to help Luke's prayer be answered for hungry children in Haiti.

Yours gratefully, 
Charlie Scott, Chairman
