Key points to consider for offering of letters

In the next few weeks, I'll be presenting information to churches about how to become advocates for hungry people.  Each year, hunger activists write to their members of Congress, advocating for policies that help end hunger in the U.S. and around the world.

This year Bread for the World members are focusing on the issues surrounding Global Assistance reform.

We are hoping to bring light to four areas:

• A stronger U.S. government focus on reducing poverty.
• Clearer accountability for how U.S. aid dollars are spent and their results.
• A transformed U.S. development agency.
• U.S. aid that meets the needs and wants of local people.

Is your church considering hosting an offering of letters? Please prayerfully study the issues for this year's Bread for the World offering of letters, think about the biblical basis for advocacy for hunger or contact more information!
