    Today is Global Handwashing Day

    October 15 is Global Handwashing Day.

    Some 88 % of diarrheal deaths worldwide are attributable to unsafe water, inadequate sanitation and poor hygiene, including lack of hand-washing with soap.

    An estimated 2.5 billion people don’t use adequate sanitation facilities, and about 1 in 4 people in developing countries openly defecate.

    Access to clean water and good hygiene practices, including hand-washing, are extremely effective in preventing diarrhea, which kills millions of children through dehydration.

    Hand washing with soap has been shown to reduce the incidence of diarrheal disease by over 40%, making it one of the most cost-effective interventions for reducing child deaths caused by this neglected killer. »→

    Amen!

    It is easy to get wrapped up in some good aspect of the church (apologetics, politics, you name it) and miss the core — that it’s about Jesus. Then, all of a sudden, church becomes all about that lesser thing, and not about Christ. ~ Josiah Bancroft

    Irish priest kidnapped in Mindanao

    A 78-year-old Irish priest was abducted by gunmen from his home in Pagadian City, Zamboanga del Sur Province in Mindanao, Philippines.

    Police say that six armed men forcibly took Father Michael Sinnott, a priest of the Missionaries of Saint Columban then fled in a minivan and a boat. Police found the van abandoned and burned at the coast.

    No one has claimed responsibility for the kidnapping. The Philippine Army has been fighting the Abu Sayyaf Muslims in the region, and Police Chief Angelo Sunglao told reporters: “We can’t speculate yet on who is behind the kidnapping, but the Abu Sayyaf is known to be operating near the area.”

    Abu Sayyaf is a small but deadly groups of militant Muslims in the Philippines. It has kidnapped dozens of foreign aid workers, missionaries and tourists since the early 1990s.

    Please pray for the safe, soon return of Father Michael!

    UPDATE: Father Michael was released November 12!
