TWR Respond To Global Food Crisis
Trans World Radio has joined forces with child-advocacy agency Compassion International to help fight against the global food crisis many children encounter.
Endeavoring to raise awareness and resources for the world’s poverty-stricken countries, Compassion recently held a one-day radio campaign that was carried by more than 1,000 Christian radio stations in the U.S. The effort raised more than
$3 million toward a global food relief initiative.
In an interveiew with Compassion President Dr. Wess Stafford, TWR President Lauren Libby focused on the extreme circumstances countless children face due to a growing shortage of food. Following the conversation, Libby proposed that TWR air short feature segments on TWR’s numerous English broadcast outlets around the globe in order to promote awareness and advocacy opportunities.
Partnering with Compassion on such a vital project helps fulfill TWR’s commitment to it’s Global Strategic Plan priorities of Wholistic Health and Children/Youth. Libby spoke of the desire to spread awareness worldwide: “God has given us resources so we can help eradicate hunger from the earth,”. Stafford added: “We have a golden opportunity to reach out and share God’s love…and we dare not miss this chance to live out our faith.” |
