The Power of Care: Fighting Hunger in a Cynical World


Listen Later

Join Chris Orme as he speaks with Andy Harrington, Executive Director of the Canadian Foodgrains Bank (CFGB). With 37 years in international development, Andy shares how CFGB, a partnership of 15 Christian denominations, works to end global hunger through emergency food relief and long-term development. He recounts impactful stories from Rwanda and Ethiopia, illustrating how simple interventions save lives and restore dignity. Andy passionately counters cynicism, emphasizing that empathy and action are crucial in addressing the immense challenge of food insecurity.


"Empathy is not a sin. It is what we are called to as Christians and I will fight that one to the death with any conversation with anyone. The question isn't: why should we? It's: we are called to and why shouldn't we?"
