Orphans Can Change Sub Saharan Africa

Having been home for about a month from a Heart for Africa mission in Swaziland, Malawi, and Kenya, I am overwhelmed by the miracles happening in those AIDS ravaged countries. While there is much death, sorrow and tragedy, there is good news. Many North Americans are hearing the call to go there and help. And, it is true that a little help goes such a long way in Africa. That we travel there to encourage, toil in their gardens, build facilities, and yes, pledge money for expansion of their care homes, gives hope. Life is empty without hope.
The children I met who have been rescued from the streets and from homes, where they have been left alone to fend for themselves, are symbols of the hope that exists in the heart of man.
I will submit a post soon to recap this trip, highlighting both the tragedy and the triumph. Also look for an announcement about a trip we will be leading next August.
Meanwhile, please click on Susan Page's Midweek and see my latest (and past) columns on some of the experiences during my recent trip. Meanwhile go to www.YouTube.com/heartforafrica and check out the story of Cindi, which we saw unfold in Swaziland in June and July.
God's Blessings!
