Leadership Opportunity

LEADERSHIP VOID
Where are the leaders for youth and children at risk?

In the UN report dated the 9th of December 2004 entitled “Childhood Under Threat - State of the World's Children 2005”, UNICEF Says, “Childhood Is A Brutal Experience For Half of World's Children, Crucial Years Destroyed by Poverty, Conflict and AIDS”.  Despite the near universal embrace of standards for protecting childhood, a new UNICEF report shows that more than half the world's children are suffering extreme deprivation from poverty, war and HIV/AIDS, conditions that are effectively denying children a childhood and holding back the development of nations.

The bottom line, there is a massive leadership crisis for nearly half of the world’s population of children, the 1 billion children who suffer from extreme poverty, and it has deadly implications.  Where are the ones who will “offer a cup of cold water in the name of the Father”, giving up personal ambition and comfort to bring the first fruits of their time and energy to such as these?
