$100 Could Conquer Poverty in 14 Days

Just because everyone used to think that the earth was flat doesn’t mean that it was true.

How would you have convinced them otherwise?

You would have to go on a long walk with them.

Modern day flat world thinking.


Is it possible to wipe out hunger in our world in 14 days?

Yes, if 4 people convinced 4 people each to give $100 and they in turn convinced 4 people each the following day and so on. If this happened 14 days in a row, how much money would be raised to combat poverty?

With just the population of North America over $33 billion would have been raised.

Will this happen? Not as long as we continue to believe the lie that the need is too big or that $100 is too small.

Maybe it's because people think $100 is too much to give away.

On average, Christians give about $100 a month to church salaries and buildings.

Jesus said, "Suffer the little children to come unto him."

Modern day application for North American Christians, "Let the little children suffer as we listen to sermons and sing praises to Jesus."
