Dear Prayer Partners, I'm taking the libery to forward this E mail with all its references for you to do as you wish. It concerns helping World Vision by giving a donation which will then be multiplied by eight. May each one be led by God. And may God touch the hearts and bellies of the starving and suffering everywhere. God bless you, Compassionately, Janey L. DeMeo Founder/director of Orphans First, freelance writer.

Date: 10/9/2002 1:55 AM RE: *Help Us Save Lives in Southern Africa*, Oct. 8, 2002 Dear Friend, I am writing to ask you to help save the lives of desperate people in Southern Africa where more than 13 million are starving. My name is Rich Stearns, and I am president of World Vision, one of the world’s largest and most trusted Christian relief and development organizations, helping needy children and families for 50 years. Right now we urgently need Christians like you to help us save lives in Southern Africa, which has been struck by the worst food crisis in more than half a century. I hope you will share Christ’s compassion with others who are in desperate need by clicking the link below to send a contribution that will be multiplied eight times! http://link.crosswalk.com/UM/T.asp?A1.62.8366.1.1137255 This is possible because World Vision has been given a U.S. government grant that will dramatically leverage your gift to help more people! And we need every dollar. The horror is almost beyond words. 13 million people face starvation. Mothers are desperately feeding their children the bark and roots of trees. Kids are digging in the dust for even a kernel of corn. But with the government grant multiplying your gift eight times, $50 will feed four families for one month! That month of food can mean the difference between life and death. So please contribute whatever you can give to rush emergency food to even more children and families. Your response in the next few seconds will help save the life of a child, a mother, or a father. World Vision is rushing emergency shipments of high-nutrition food such as maize, beans, and oil to reach hundreds of thousands of people at the risk of death. But so much depends on help from caring Christians like you. We need online gifts of $50, $100, or even $35 to provide food for starving children and families. To give, please click on the link below now. Time is never on the side of someone starving. http://link.crosswalk.com/UM/T.asp?A1.62.8366.1.1137255 Thank you for your help. May God bless you. Rich Stearns President, World Vision
