 לאches. The first item of business this afternoon is time for reflection. Our time for reflection leader today is Mr Magnus McFarland Barrow, the chief executive and founder of Mary's Meals. Good afternoon. About 20 years ago, I was on a dark street in Colombia with a group looking for children living on the streets to offer them a hot breakfast. We found this little Young boy, about six years old. Sleeping under some cardboard and we gave him his breakfast. We began speaking to him and one of us asked him, Who is your best friend. He looked up at us and thought for a little while. He said, God is. We were taking a back, we knew that boy wasn't going to school knowing I taught him to say that. We asked him, Why do you say that? He said, because God gives me everything that I need. That little boy didn't know where his next meal was coming from. He'd seen friends of his murdered on the streets, and yet he said that with absolute conviction. He evangelised me that day. In the years since I journeyed through life, claiming myself to be a Christian, I asked myself sometimes, do I really believe that God gives me everything that I need in the way that that little boy on the street did? A few years later it was another conversation with a child that led to the birth of Mary's Meals, this work that provides daily meals for the world's poorest children in places of education. Over 1.2 million children every day now around the world. That conversation with a child took place in Malawi 2002, where I met a family, the mother of the family was dying, and she had six children around her. I began talking to her oldest son, he was called Edward, he was 14 years of age. At one point in the conversation I said to Edward, Edward, what are your hopes, what are your ambitions? He looked at me and said, I would like to have enough food to eat, and I would like to be able to go to school one day. That was it, that was the extent of his ambition at 14 years of age. It was those words that he spoke that day that triggered this movement of Mary's Meals, this movement that keeps growing around the world with that vision that every child in this world might at least eat one good meal every day in their place of education. I suppose the story of Mary's Meals can teach us a few things. It can teach us perhaps the importance of listening to children when they speak. It can teach us that any of us can do something to help make this world better, no matter our qualifications or lack of, in my case. The story of Mary's Meals may also tell us that that little boy in Colombia was right when he said, God gives us everything we need in this world of plenty, in this world in which we produce more than enough food for all of us to eat well. That vision of ours that every child in this world might eat at least one good meal every day is a vision that burns more brightly than ever and one that I entrust again to God and to our Lord Jesus. Thank you.
