Every day over 25,000 people die of hunger. That's over 1,000 people an hour. In other words, as many people die of hunger every hour as are killed in the world's deadliest wars in a year. One person every 3 seconds ... most often, children.

If the effects of death by famine in the world today were concentrated in this room, the whole congregation of 30 - 50 people would be wiped out in under 3 minutes. We wouldn't even get through one song.
