Beginning next week, the Matthew 25 Network will run a new ad on Christian radio stations
in Ohio connecting the Christian mandate to care for the least among us
with the economic crisis in Ohio and around the country. Former
Congressman Tony Hall, a pro-life Democrat from Dayton, Ohio is featured in the ad.
Former Congressman Hall is famous for his 22 day hunger fast when in 1993 Congress abolished the House Select Committee on Hunger, where he served as Chairman. Hall was appointed by President
Bush to be Ambassador to the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization
where he served until 2005.
The ad entitled "When did we see you hungry?" is the first in a series
of radio ads that the Matthew 25 Network will be releasing inspired by
25th Chapter in the Gospel of Matthew, where Jesus asks his followers to care for "the least of these."
