World View Index: April 2002

Clip Description
The Hula Hoop contest (United States)
    Serving God is a great excuse to be a workaholic. But sometimes, God calls us to put this work aside for an even higher calling: being moms and dads, husbands and wives.
Faith-based initiatives (United States)
    Faith-based organizations like Prison Fellowship have proven more effective than secular groups. They shouldn't replace government, but they should receive its support.
Boy no longer hunts rats (Mozambique)
    When World Vision first met Tchafule, the 8-year-old was hunting rats to feed his three sisters and widowed mother. Today, he attends school and eats nourishing food.
Be patient (Brazil)
    Americans have responded generously to meet emergency needs. But sometimes, the needs are overwhelming.
Returning to rebuild (Afghanistan)
    After fleeing the Soviets and the Taliban, Afghans started new lives overseas. Now, many are returning to rebuild their country.
Using gifts as the donor intended (United States)
    Charities have an obligation to meet a donor's wishes while serving the needy.
Giving birth amid pain and sorrow (Middle East)
    Two women - one Israeli, one Palestinian - were shot and wounded on the way to the hospital to give birth. Their husbands were killed. Pray that their daughters grow up in peace.
A true man's man (AIDS)
    Despite what the world teaches, the Bible's model of true manliness is a husband who loves and protects his wife.
The Priest, the Levite, and the Good Samaritan (AIDS)
    The church is ignoring human suffering resulting from the AIDS epidemic.
The heartbreak of Africa's mothers (AIDS)
    Africa is the only continent where women with AIDS outnumber men. Their overriding concern? "Who will care for my children when I'm gone?"
30-second PSAs
U.S. falls behind in helping the needy
Conflict diamonds fuel civil wars
AIDS: What is a man's man?
Hope for the world's children
(Tia and Tamera Mowery)
