Cassie posted this on her blog today. She has written about it well.

"26,575 children die each day of largely preventable causes related to their poverty. But that very statistic, so critical to our understanding of the extent and urgency of the plight of the world's children, also begins to obscure the humanity, the dignity, and the worth of each of those children. It takes away their names and their stories, homogenizes their personalities, and cheapens the value of each individual child, created in the very image of God....the story of one child [is] more compelling than the suffering of millions."
Taken from The Hole in our Gospel by Richard Stearns

Isn't this the truth?
