Resources available for Oct. 9 Global Hunger Sunday

Global Hunger Relief (GHR) is sponsoring its annual Global Hunger Sunday on Oct. 9 to combat world hunger. Of the 7 billion people in the world, 800 million suffer from hunger. Global Hunger Sunday raises awareness of the high numbers of those in need.

Global Hunger Sunday is a call to action for Southern Baptists. GHR is a joint initiative of Southern Baptist entities such as Baptist Global Response, the SBC Executive Committee, Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission, the International Mission Board, LifeWay Christian Resources, North American Mission Board and Women’s Missionary.

“GHR-funded projects combat hunger in North America and around the world in a wide variety of ways, from participating in disaster relief to addressing chronic hunger, from eliminating urban food deserts to helping women rescued from sex trafficking—and much more.””

GHR provides to local churches resources for Global Hunger Sunday, such as a poster, slideshow, promotional video, three versions of a bulletin insert and three hunger-related sermon outlines.

GHR uses 100 percent of funds donated to address global hunger needs directly. GHR seeks to prepare and educate church leaders to effectively address global hunger. According to its website, “GHR-funded projects combat hunger in North America and around the world in a wide variety of ways, from participating in disaster relief to addressing chronic hunger, from eliminating urban food deserts to helping women rescued from sex trafficking—and much more.”
