World Hunger and General Relief funds provide hope
It has been said that the SBC is known more for what it is against rather than what it is for. And in recent history this has proven to be true. Baptist Press recently highlighted that $600,000 in releif efforts in Myanmar and China alone has been funded by gifts of people in the pews of Southern Baptist churches.
Combining the World Hunger and General Relief funds set up through the International Mission Board's Human Needs Ministries, Southern Baptist have found a way to collectively pool money together (over $200 million total) to provide hope for people in the midst of devastating circumstances. And a natural by-product of this activity is our ability to share Christ in places that make little room for the Jesus many of us consider as common as popcorn at the the local movie theatre.
This is a story worth telling.
