Please allow me to be vulnerable today....

As I travel and share the needs of Congo, I often hear the response “we are so lucky, here” or “we are so blessed”. 

Now let me whole heartedly agree with these statements. YES, we are! My quandary exists in the aftermath of this revelation. Knowing we are abundantly gifted is one thing, however, do we then walk on feeling entitled? Are we in some way, more deserving than the......well, you KNOW the stories, you’ve seen the pictures......what do you think? Are we? Entitlement justifies us to carry on with no accountability to other’s suffering. Yes, I know we can’t solve all the world’s ills, but does that absolve us from trying to help some? If each of us helped some......what could we accomplish, together?

I challenge you today......respond! Support some worthy cause or organization that is genuinely bringing effective aid. Everyone that ministry touches.....you touch! With your partnership, they can accomplish more than they could on their own!

these ladies are holding school supplies that they purchased to send to needy children in the Congo! There was quite a collection and we assembled 27 kits! WOW! 27 children who will learn that people do care!
Thank you, ladies, so very much, for what you have done! (that's "ASANTE SANA SANA" from the Congolese children!)
I love these ladies! They have such generous hearts! Please give them your vote of encouragement in the comment box!!

"The eastern Kivu and northeastern areas remain unstable with regular violence, a patchwork of rebel forces and militias. Around 1.3 million people in the east of the country alone have been uprooted. Life in refugee camps is miserable and uncertain. Those interned are vulnerable to militia attacks, disease and sexual predation, and they live with little or no resources for anything beyond mere survival. Untold horrors have been committed against many thousands of innocents. The Church’s social impact has grown, since it has emerged as the only viable national structure to endure in the general social, political and economic collapse of the country. Despite the destruction of countless churches and ministry buildings, only the Church has plugged the gap left by a failed state in terms of caring for the many needs in this broken land".....(Operation World)

The Eastern Congo is where I work......there is much work to be done!
