Help The World To Prepare For The Coming Famine!
�there will be famines� in many parts of the world.� - Mt. 24:7b / New Living Translation
Lester R. Brown is regarded as perhaps the world�s leading authority on issues of international agriculture. I quote below from an on-line bio�http://www.earth-policy.org/About/Lester_bio.htm
�Brown earned masters degrees in agricultural economics �In 1966, the Secretary of Agriculture appointed him Administrator of International Agricultural Development �Brown has authored or co-authored 50 books�in some 40 languages�the recipient of many prizes and awards, including 23 honorary degrees.�
Two months ago, Mr. Brown had this to say at http://www.earth-policy.org/Updates/2008/Update72.html
�A fast-unfolding food shortage is engulfing the entire world, driving food prices to record highs�
The world has not experienced anything quite like this before. In the face of rising food prices and spreading hunger, the social order is beginning to break down in some countries� Food riots are now becoming commonplace... If food security cannot be restored quickly, social unrest and political instability will spread�. threatening the very stability of civilization itself.�
In light of the coming world famine, I believe God�s people should be busy planting and watering�planting seeds of the gospel and watering those seeds with prayer, so that there may be a harvest of souls even AFTER the rapture has taken us away!
Let�s work to prepare the world for the coming spiritual famine whose consequences will be far worse than any physical famine ever could be! Amos 8:11 says�
�The days are coming,� declares the Sovereign Lord, �when I will send a famine through the land - not a famine of food or a thirst for water, but a famine of hearing the words of the Lord.
Look up, saints, for �your redemption draweth nigh!�
