Just 30 minutes outside Philadelphia, amid the rolling farmland that produces some of the nation's largest peach and bell pepper crops, more Gloucester County parents are seeking help to feed their children, while others live in tents in the wooded areas near major shopping centers.

From 2010 to 2011, the rate of child poverty in Gloucester County more than doubled, a shocking statistic in a county where the median income is more than $72,000, according to census data. In 2011, 7,395 children in Gloucester County were living in families earning about $22,000 a year or less, up from 4,687 children in 2010, according to census figures.

So many things I would like to say about how evil politicians and greedy businesses of today have caused this problem but none of it will change the circumstances of these people. :mad

Lord I know you weep to see this kind of decline to poverty in our once great God Blessed Western Nations. We have turned our back on you and we have lost the Blessings you had given in the past when we had Praised your name in Parliments and schools and across our nations in public places. Now your Son's name is seen as a taboo and we no longer teach our children your Word and how to live according to your precepts. Lord forgive us and have mercy upon us. Our children are now suffering for our wrong doing. Lord we lift up the poor and the suffering to you in prayer, Father God bring some help to these people. Not only provide for their physical needs but also give them the very Bread of Life and bring them to your Word and your Truth. In Jesus Name Amen.
