A Minute With Pastor - 10/05/2008
Perspective is always helpful in life. If you could shrink the earth’s population to a village of 100 people:
■ There would be 60 Asians, 12 Europeans, 15 from
W. Hemisphere (incl N./S. Amer.) & 13 from Africa
■ 50 would be female and 50 would be male
■ 67 would be non-Christian and 33 Christian
■ 33 would live in substandard housing
■ 16 would be unable to read
■ 33 would suffer from malnutrition
■ only a few would have a college education
■ only a few would have a computer
■ 23% of the entire village’s wealth would be in the
hands of only six people – all six from the U.S.!

Do we really think we have it so difficult in America?
