Wars in Eastern Europe and the Middle East have destabilized entire regions. Extreme weather conditions have upset crop yields in Africa. Economic instability has raised operational costs for farmers around the world.
These and many other challenges have left tens of millions of people around the world staring down the barrel of food shortages.
Send Relief, the compassion ministry arm of Southern Baptists, extends the reach of churches to meet these needs through Global Hunger Relief, an initiative of the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) dedicated to combating hunger and sharing the Bread of Life.
This year, the SBC has designated Sunday, August 25, as Global Hunger Sunday. And Send Relief has created resources to help raise awareness about hunger needs around the world.
