While you were taking your 60-minute lunch break, here's what took place around the world:

2,738 people died of starvation

342 people died of malaria

76 mothers died from childbirth issues

9,582 babies died from induced abortion

8,898 infants and children were abandoned

$2,088,751,996 personal income was earned by church members

$2,737,851 was given to global foreign missions
(about 0.01% of church members' income)

20 Christians were martyred.

Me:  Maybe this is why God is raising up Christians social advocates around the world!
