“Open thy mouth, judge righteously, and plead the cause of the poor and needy.” –Proverbs 31:9

BREAD FOR THE WORLD’S BASIS FOR THEIR ADVOCACY COMES

FROM BIBLE ANALYSIS, ENDORSING STORIES OF THE BIBLE AND

SPECIFIC VERSES AS GUIDANCE.

ONE GOAL OF BREAD FOR THE WORLD IS TO BRING TOGETHER

AMERICA'S CHRISTIANS AND CHURCHES TO FIGHT POVERTY AND

HUNGER HERE IN AMERICA AND ABROAD.

BREAD FOR THE WORLD HAS BEEN RANKED AS A TOP CHARITY BY

MULTIPLE CREDIBLE SOURCE SUCH AS THE AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF

PHILANTHROPY AND CHARITY NAVIGATOR.

EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE RANKED AS A TOP CHARITY, BREAD FOR THE

WORLD FACES CRITICISM DUE TO THE LACK OF DIRECT SERVICES

AND PROJECTS.

“If you're not Christian, it definitely take a little bit of getting used to.”- Worker of 10 years

THE RELIGION ASPECT OF BREAD FOR THE WORLD CAN BE TOO MUCH

SOMETIMES.

“Eventually, however, the organization became less of an instrument of citizen action in response to human need and yet another liberal pressure group lobbying for increased government spending…on both domestic and international policies, Bread has become part of the problem.” – Reverend Richard John
