One Day To Feed The World- "Convoy Of Hope"



Deadly famine ravages East Africa. This summer the worst drought in 50 years has threatened as many as 12 million people in East Africa with malnutrition and starvation. The United Nations reports that an average of 1300 Somali refugees are arriving into Kenya every day.

Convoy of Hope has strived to meet the needs of these refugees by providing food and water in some of the hardest hit areas. In one location it is estimated that there are over 500,000 refugees in need. From Convoy of Hope's warehouse in Nairobi, food and supplies are being transported to these refugee camps. More than 3.3 million meals will be distributed in the coming weeks.

This Sunday, November 20 we will be partnering with Convoy of Hope's efforts to help save lives. At Sunset Chapel we care for the poor and suffering. Would you prayerfully consider linking together with us in giving "ONE DAYS WAGES"?? We are asking everyone to set aside one day of their life for the poor to share the love and good news of Christ. We are hoping to receive our single largest offering for missions this year this weekend. Your donation will be multiplied 7 times over!! For every dollar we receive Convoy of Hope is able to leverage that into 7 dollars worth of food, water and supplies to those in need. Convoy of Hope partners with hundreds of other resourcing organizations to provide sustainable solutions to unexpected disasters that occur all around the world. Since Convoy of Hope was founded, it has distributed $200 million worth of food, water and supplies throughout the world.

If your not able to be with us for this weekend, would you consider making an online donation? You can go to our church website sunsetchapel.com and click on to our online giving icon then follow the prompts to make your donation! Let's make a global difference this weekend for God! 100% of the offering received will be forwarded to this non-profit organization!!
