World Lion Day & Starving FamiliesHey😊👋 I want to take some time in my Journal for Christ to begin raising awareness for charities, people in need, and matters dedicated towards nurturing this beautiful Earth as a whole. As a follower of Christ, it's my personal responsibility to not only love the living beings of this world, but to care for them as I care for myself. Jesus said to him, “ ‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ To do just that, I will consistently try to make more of an effort to post about charities and organizations in urgent need of aid, volunteering, financial support, etc. For this journal post, I'll be focusing on 2 organizations needing donations ❤ 1. National Geographic - World Lion Day (August 10)National Geographic is in need of donations to help with conservation efforts for lions. The disappearance of lion populations has significantly increased over the years. Poaching and loss of habitat among other critical risk factors are sadly destroying the lives of one of the most popular and beloved species of animals. Read more facts about lion disappearances here: "Where lions once ruled, they are now quietly disappearing" Fortunately, National Geographic is working hard to fund, develop, and maintain conservation resources for these awesome cats! You can donate here: Humanity naturally has dominion over animals, plants, and the overall Earth. Those put in charge of a life should never abuse that power to cause misery but instead should lead with kindness and care. Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” 2. Christian Appalachian Project- CAP 2020 Hunger WalkMore importantly, the Christian Appalachian Project based in Kentucky is always looking for donations to feed the starving families of Appalachia. There is a great catastrophe of hunger walking amongst the children and families there who need immediate financial support. I personally can't stand it when my mother goes on strike from cooking, and am super quick to dial up Uber Eats to sate my hunger attitude! Even then, I'm blessed to have that opportunity. I couldn't imagine going to bed and wondering what I was possibly going to eat the next day. Please consider donating to this generous charity here: You can also sign up for their annual CAP Hunger Walk (virtually this time) for the upcoming Hunger Awareness Month here: https://caphungerwalk2020.itemorder.com/sale No person should have to live in a world hungry, cold, or alone. That is why Jesus tells us to love one another. Feeding, clothing, and providing for His children and people is equal to doing so for Him. I'm praying you can find it in your heart to be a more cheerful giver and bless the world. Then the King will say to those on His right hand, ‘Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: for I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in; I was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me.’
