What is it about Africa?
I can’t explain it. It’s a feeling deep in my soul. It reaches the innermost part of my heart. That secret place that no one gets to see. The place where long lost dreams and forgotten goals live. Sometimes, it wakes me from a sound sleep. I can see the beautiful faces and dark, lost eyes willing me to open mine. Willing me to come and make a difference. I can’t get the images out of my head. They are seared forever into my memory. How long? How long Lord will these innocent children have to suffer? I almost can’t breathe because I feel like my heart has been ripped out and it is breaking in two. Why do I have so much and they so little? How long until I can go back???

Between my facebook and being sick all weekend, I feel like I am never going to get to blog my trip! Here are a few more pictures. This is the church we went to and it is right in the squatters camp where we ministered. We went to service there too and it lasted several hours! It was great, the preacher would preach for a few minutes then we would sing for a while, then back to preaching then back to singing! It was awesome!
This is where we were doing vbs and praying with the kids. They are so cute!
We did alot of servant evangelism and we got water for some people but we had a really hard time carrying the water. The women carry it on top of their heads but I didn’t want to risk breaking my neck! They really enjoyed laughing at us carrying and spilling it all over the place.
We also helped to do laundry and one day, we were walking by a man doing laundry and he told us he heard we were there so we could wash everyone’s clothes. It was so funny, he was laughing but when we told him we wanted to, he would not let us. He said he promised his wife that HE would do it!
