WELCOME WELCOME to

Every day, the gap between rich and poor

seems to get just that little bit wider. For
millions of people, poverty does not just mean
a lack of money, but also malnutrition, hunger,
disease and a lack of education. Poverty can cut
short the lives of the young, old, and vulnerable
and the cycle of poverty can seem inescapable.
Yet each of us have skills and talents that,
when well-placed, can be an answer to many
local and global community needs. When
we harness this abundant energy, good work
happens.
Here at World Vision Resources, we offer
innovative tools to help Christians of all ages
initiate meaningful discussions about poverty
and justice in today’s world. Check out our
latest resources, and be sure to visit us at
www.worldvisionresources.com to view our
downloadable samplers and free resources.

This delightful series brings an array of exceptional photos from around the world
to young children. Each book centers on a universal theme, familiar by its very
nature, yet new due to faraway settings and ethnic, cultural, and socio-economic
diversity. Each remarkable photo essay will foster discussion, observation, and many
smiles as children compare and contrast their own experience to that of others.

When Do We Eat?
Understanding World Hunger and Doing Something About It
“When do we eat?” This is a common question for almost every child. When we’re
hungry, we expect to have quick access to food. But in many parts of the world,
hunger is a constant companion. Children growing up in impoverished countries
get sick—and many even die—because they don’t have enough food.
When Do We Eat? teaches young people in grades 1-3 about the causes of world
hunger, helps them learn how they can make a difference for the world’s hungry,
and gives them an opportunity to respond.

CHILD
SPONSORSHIP
When I looked into my newborn granddaughter’s eyes, I knew she was
among the truly blessed. She had the love of two committed parents,
the devotion of many family members, and a social and economic status
that would serve her well.
How could I show her I loved her and cared for her future? I would help
someone in need in her name. The result was our World Vision sponsored
child—another bright-eyed baby.
My granddaughter is now 5, as is our sponsored

child. My granddaughter and I shop for her
together, and she is coming to realize, as much
as any young child can, that there are many in
need in the world. We bought a small “Dora the
Explorer” doll for our sponsored friend, and my
granddaughter immediately went and got her
own Dora doll’s comb so she could send it along
as well. I was a pretty proud grandmother.
Now I look at my blessed granddaughter

and see compassion, generosity, and social
responsibility developing. What greater gift!

FOR ABOUT $1 A DAY,

you can help a vulnerable boy or girl survive, grow, and reach his
or her God-given potential. Your gift will help demonstrate God’s

leadership development, civic

Transformational leadership
development encourages youth to
discuss and identify their own
strengths and reflect on their
feelings and experiences in their
neighborhood. Youth learn that their
voice counts, and they get the opportunity to use it when they reflect on the
various ways they can make a difference. And young people develop advocacy
skills through creating and executing an advocacy project. Five two-hour
training sessions give participants the tools to support them on a journey toward
becoming an agent of change in their community, the nation, and the world.

In the time it takes to read this sentence, a child under the age of 5 will
die. That child likely lived in a developing country, was born to a sick or
malnourished mother and suffered malnutrition as well, and died from
preventable or treatable causes. Every four seconds, the same story repeats.
Alive at Five is multi-media approach to studying the global issue of child

health. The resource provides tools and activities that help participants

Reflections from Afar
Unexpected Blessings For Those Who “Have”
From Those Who Don’t
Adult Study /// XXXX /// Suggested donation: $15
As a major-gifts officer for World Vision, Cory Trenda has spent 28 years with one
foot firmly planted among the poorest of the poor and the other firmly planted
among the world’s richest. While going weeks without seeing a poor person in his
local daily life, Cory began writing about his struggles to live as a Christ-follower.
Reflections from Afar is an invitation for readers to see the world through the eyes
of the oppressed and the un-empowered, to enter into issues of poverty and
misery, yet come through it refreshed and encouraged and transformed.

60 YEARS OF MINISTRY
Founded by Bob Pierce, World Vision set its course to “care for the
fatherless and widows, to help the poor and starving, to care for the
sick, and to seek to present the gospel of Jesus Christ.” When the
Korean War ended in 1953, World Vision began its child sponsorship
program to support orphans.
“The audacious faith of Bob Pierce has always characterized World
Vision, and it has changed the world for millions of children over the
past six decades,” said Richard Stearns, president of World Vision
U.S. “More than 3 million children are now assisted by sponsors
worldwide, and 100 million people receive help of one kind or
another—all because one man had the audacity to believe God and
because millions more just like
you were willing to join him.”

The Candid, Compelling Story of Bob and Lorraine Pierce,

Book /// 1422 /// Suggested donation: $16
CD /// 1423 /// Suggested donation: $12
Bob Pierce, the founder of two of the world’s most notable Christian ministries, was
a man of intense spiritual passion and clear vision. This gripping biography, written
with heartfelt honesty by Pierce’s daughter, balances Bob’s tragic mistakes with
the great achievements God accomplished through him and his wife, Lorraine. It
shows how God’s grace and power can accomplish amazing things through less-
than-perfect human vessels.

The Hole in Our Gospel
The Answer That Changed My Life and Might
Just Change the World
Richard Stearns
Hardback edition /// 1424 /// Suggested donation: $10
Paperback edition /// 1522 /// Suggested donation: $7
What does God expect of us? Just going to

church, studying the Bible, and avoiding
the most serious sins—or does God expect
more? Have we embraced the whole
gospel … or a gospel with a hole in it?
Ten years ago, World Vision U.S. President
Rich Stearns came face-to-face with that
question as he sat in a mud hut in Rakai,
Uganda, listening to the heartbreaking
story of an orphaned child. Stearns’
journey there took much more than a long
flight to Africa. It took answering God’s
call on his life, a call that tore him out of
his corner office at one of America’s most
luxurious corporations to walk with the
poorest of the poor.
