For those of you who feel the call to mission, and really that should be all of us who a followers of Christ, there are those nights, when you are unable to do your job for some reason and you know that you are home and the people God has called you to serve are heavy on your heart. This night, this weekend was that and is that for me. A popular talented NFL player died in my town, MJ died, Farrah died, and there has been so much fanfare. I do not know the conditions of their souls. What I do know is that in Sudan people die without Christ by the hands of the militia everyday and that is not breaking news, no one twitters or face book's when a father is murdered in front of his wife and children and then than woman is raped if front of her kids as her house burns around her. Here we live, in the home of the free and the brave and I would not have it any other way. But today, I want to be the voice for those in Sudan. As soon as I am cleared I want to go to a neighboring nation and see what can be done about housing these women, teaching them a trade and giving them a chance to hear the Truth. Today, in the midst of the fanfare of those among us that have died remember the women who carried her dead baby around because she loves her to much to put her down. Tell people to read this blog so that when CNN covers the funeral for MJ tomorrow, (and he is due his proper funeral) we also remember the father that fought the the death for his children and lost that fight. Share this story. It is not fun, it is not easy but in my heart that is unable to sleep because it breaks for them, this is breaking news. Share this, read this, care about this. Tell others to follow because in the weeks, months and years to come I am going to share ways that they can help. Please care. Somebody has to and lots of some body's should.
*this and many of my pictures were taken in Kenya. Though I have some pictures of the horrible things happening in Sudan, I have chosen not to use them on a public blog.
