"Silent" Famine Sweeps the Globe

April 3, 2008 "Silent" Famine Sweeps the Globe (WorldNetDaily) Interesting that I should come across this article shortly after reading a number of scriptures relating to famines in the Old Testament. One comforting thing that stood out from the scriptures was that these particular famines were from God's own hand and that He warned His people (as well as gentiles) beforehand (see: Gen. 41:25 & II Kings 8:1). Two questions: What should God's people do in times like these? And, are we regular supporters of ministries like World Vision, Samaritan's Purse and Food for the Hungry, dedicated to caring for famine victims? If this article is an indicator of what's to come for more of our planet, there's no better time than now to get involved.
