God working in Africa

I friend sent me a really cool article on missionaries in Africa, here is a bit of it, you can read it all at:

World magazine reported recently on an unexpected comment by English columnist Matthew Parris about desperate conditions in Africa and what he saw as the solution to them. Parris was raised in Malawi, from which he had just returned, and undoubtedly surprised his London Times Online opinion page readers with the following title of his report: “As an atheist, I am truly convinced that Africa needs God.”

This atheist has observed that something very special has happened to Africans who have responded to the words of missionaries. Those who have heard and heeded their message of faith are changed from within. A transformation has taken place that has produced new life. He has seen this approach to Africa’s problems break old bondages and bring hope to those who believe. No wonder he pleads for more missionaries rather than more money!

I thought it was really interesting that even an atheist can see that Africa needs God! And it sure does, everywhere does for that matter.

To change gears a bit, we had an interview with a potential "Ma and Pa" for the orphanage today. It went really well and looks promising. Both parties are praying and seeking the Lord and we'll go from there. Please keep it in your prayers, as this us a huge responsibility and we want it to be a ministry for the couple, not a job.
