Anyone who has been a student will know the difficulty of trying to make ends meet on a tight budget. At one of our theological colleges, students came “by faith”, without any visible means of support. Relatives, church members and fellow students would make contributions to their upkeep and sometimes local churches would donate sacks of grain or beans. Despite that, there were always students who fell through the cracks. To meet this need, we kept a small supply of dry foods in our pantry. One year, however, the number of needy students was greater than normal, and our emergency supplies were soon exhausted. Students were going hungry. No matter how much we gave out, we could never satisfy all their needs. The guilt of putting food on our family table while others were going hungry was unbearable. How could we call ourselves Christians when we were unable to help everyone?
