David Beckmann urged lawmakers to move forward a draft bill to reform U.S. foreign aid in testimony before the Foreign Relations Committee Wednesday.
The bipartisan legislation is designed to reform foreign assistance to better serve the U.S. commitment to reduce global poverty and hunger.
“As a nation, we have been richly blessed. But we haven’t done a very good job of figuring out how to effectively share our blessings with others around the world.
Our international assistance programs need to be refocused on the needs of the poor. I urge concerned Christians to make their voices heard through Bread for the World’s 2009 Offering of Letters.”
