Who are "... our people..."who are hungry?

On SojoMail@sojo.net recently in their daily Verse and Voice postings there were two thought provoking quotes. The first from Mahatma Gandhi was, "There are people in the world so hungry, that God cannot appear to them except in the form of bread." In another Beau Bridges says, "When we work to end childhood hunger, we are giving our love to kids who need it so much they will never ask for it."

One very small but important thing that can be done daily is to go to the Hunger Site at http://www.thehungersite.com, click on button that provides food to the hungry in the world. While you are there you may want to buy some of the items that they have for sale. Sales support people in need around the world who need that support and each purchase provides more food to the needy. Click on the site, look it over, and decide for yourself what you would like to do.

"If we have all we need and see one of our own people in need, we must have pity on that person, of else we cannot say we love God. Children, you show love for others by truly helping them, and not merely by talking about it." I John 3:17 - 18 (CEV)

Who are "... our own people..."?
