   “I do not know what to do to get him healthy.” — Liberian mother asking a
   recovery center to help her 10-year-old malnourished son.


Planting for the future

   NEW YORK (UMNS) — While the world produces enough food to feed the 7 billion
   people who live here, 925 million suffer from chronic hunger. That
   staggering figure includes 200 million undernourished children. According to
   UNICEF, malnutrition and hunger-related diseases kill 60 percent of the 10.9
   million children in developing countries who die each year. Interpreter
   magazine explores how to fight global hunger with solutions that last.

A season of hope

   NASHVILLE, Tenn. (UMNS) — Advent is a season of incredible realities. We
   dress our sanctuaries with garland, lights and beautiful decorations and
   prepare our churches for the coming of Christmas. But, are we equally
   prepared for the coming of the Messiah? The Rev. Shane Stanford, senior
   pastor of Christ United Methodist Church in Memphis, Tenn., tells us to
   remember that Advent is more than preparing for what comes next.

Japan grads told to harvest ‘health, justice, peace’

   TOCHIGI, Japan (UMNS) — Commencement ceremonies for the 39th class at the
   Asian Rural Institute in Japan were especially meaningful this year after
   the damage from the March 11 earthquake. In his Nov. 19 address, Thomas
   Kemper, top executive, United Methodist Board of Global Ministries,
   encouraged the graduates to "plant for abundant harvests in health, justice,
   and peace." The mission agency supported two of this year's graduates--the
   Rev. Munetsi Hokonya from Zimbabwe and Jean Gontran Delgrace, a project
   manager and agronomist from Haiti.

Make it healthy, not hungry

   NEW YORK (UMNS) — Nearly a billion people around the world – including 49
   million in the United States – do not have regular access to healthy foods,
   with some neighborhoods being categorized as “food deserts,” writes UMNS
   reporter Linda Bloom in her Bloombytes blog.
