WORLD HUNGER PART 1
This is how many people will go to bed hungry tonight. (Nearly a million / 500 million / Nearly a billion)

This was the length of time the people experienced famine in Egypt during the time of Joseph in the Old Testament.

What is a mustard seed.
This happens physically to a malnourished person's heart
What is it shrinks, making it work harder to pump blood to survive?
This is where most hungry people live. (The Middle East / Asia / South America / Africa)
What is Asia? About two-thirds of the world’s hungry people (578 million) live in Asia and the Pacific. Sub-Saharan Africa has the next-largest number of hungry people (239 million). But a higher percentage of people are hungry in sub-Saharan Africa (1 in 3) than in Asia.
Starvation is usually what kills hungry kids. (True or False)
What is false. Hunger-related causes kill as many as 11,000 kids a day. However, most die not because of starvation, but from “chronic hunger”—meaning they went too long without getting the right kind of food. Eating just enough to stay alive weakens their bodies so much that disease can swoop in and end their lives.
Adam and Eve had two sons, this is the son that grew crops.
Who is Cain?

A healthy brain uses this percentage of the body's total energy daily just to function properly.

CSB and Plumpy’nut® are examples of this. (Games kids play in impoverished countries / cheap foods only the poorest kids eat / therapeutic superfoods)
What therapeutic superfoods?
You can tell malnourished kids from their swollen bellies or skeletal appearance. (True or False)
What is FALSE. You don’t have to have a bloated belly or look emaciated to be malnourished. All it takes is continually missing out on the key nutrients your body needs. So while some malnourished kids may not look hungry, there’s still a silent battle going on beneath the surface. In many cases, basic body systems quit working right—for example, the immune system can no longer fight off disease.

Most parents in impoverished countries do this for a living. (work in a school / farm / sell goods)
What is farming? Most families depend entirely on what they can grow, so they are never more than one disaster away from hunger. Called “subsistence farmers,” these people produce barely enough crops to feed their families, let alone harvest enough extra to sell.
The effects of hunger on a child are totally reversible with the right treatments. (True or False)
What is FALSE. The effects of short-term hunger can be reversed with the right nutrients, but long-term hunger can permanently damage a child’s body. The heart can literally shrink—making it beat harder than it should and shortening its lifespan. Bones can stop growing at the right pace, permanently stunting height. And as the brain starves, intelligence drops and the personality can change—irreversibly.
This is what Ruth gathered in Boaz's fields, after her and her mother-in-law, Naomi left Moab.
What is Barley left over by the harvesters?
When Jesus was at Cana in Galilee, this is the miracle he performed.

The liver and kidney release toxins that poison to the body that would normally be filtered out
It costs about this much to help feed and care for a child for a month through World Vision.
How much is $30? When you fund raise through the 30 Hour Famine, you’ll experience hunger and raise funds to help hungry kids. And every $30 you raise can help feed and care for a child for a month.
This is a term used to measure extreme hunger. (Famished / Wasting / Starving)
What is wasting. “Wasting” is severe weight loss caused by hunger and is calculated using a child’s weight-to-height ratio. Two other terms used to measure hunger are “stunting” (below normal height) and “underweight.”
Her supply of oil and flour never ran out throughout the famine.
Who is the widow of Zarephath?
Jesus took this out of the mouth of a fish.
What is a coin?
This is the percentage of a child's brain that is developed in the first 2 years of life.
What is 70%? Hunger delays development on the cognitive, social and emotional level. This affects reading, language, attention, memory, and problem-solving. A lack of vitamin-A and Iodine during the first 2 years of life could result in blindness and irreversible brain damage.
