I need Africa, more than Africa needs me

Africa is a place with beautiful people, and a beautiful spirit. Everyone I know who goes comes back with such an appreciation of the simplicity of the land and the hope of the people. God tells me to love all people, I do not get a choice. I need to step outside of my cocoon and learn that not everyone has running water, and two or three cars outside. Not everyone has a drugstore just around the corner. But these people, despite the current civil unrest continue to fight with all they have for their dignity and their future. God, open my heart, open my eyes, open my spirit to those who are needy throughout the world. That is my prayer today.

How can we not

I wonder how we as a body can miss the need to reach out to all those in third world countries. How can we not help people who don't have clean water, or who have to walk for hours just to get water. I am supporting Blood Water Mission

They are a group, started by Jars of Clay to support clean water and blood in Africa, they have already reached a third of the way to their goal of 1,000 wells. How can we turn our back, how can we as Christians miss a chance to minister the the least.
