You hit the lottery by being born in the U.S.

How comfortable are you?
Did anyone try and stop you from coming to church today.
Are your cupboards bare?
When was the last time you worried if you would be able to feed yourself and your family? Not what you were going to eat, but if you were going to eat at all.
Has there ever been a time that you did not have a bed to sleep in? I am not talking about a camping trip.
Do you consider yourself rich?
$5,000 you are in the top 37% of the wealthiest people in the world. Meaning you are richer than 63% of the worlds population.
How many of you would consider yourself extremely wealthy?
$24,000 you are in the top 7.9% of the wealthiest people in the world. Meaning you are richer than 92.1% of the worlds population
$63,000 you are a one percent-er. You are in the top 1% of the worlds wealthiest people. You are richer than 99% of the rest of the world
As of 2024, roughly half (3.5 billion people) of the global population lives on less than $6.85 per day, while 8.5% (700 million) live on less than $2.15 per day, the extreme poverty line for low-income countries.
Globally, an estimated over 380 million Christians face high levels of persecution and discrimination for their faith, with one in seven Christians worldwide targeted.
