They went to Malawi Africa on a mission trip 13 or 14 years ago and fell in love with the people there. They started sending small packages of medical supplies and it has grown to an amazing ministry. It's called The Malawi Project and the work they've been involved in is amazing. I know they're experiencing another drought and so many thousands will die. <BR/><BR/>Our country's blessing are so abundantly above the majority of the world we just can't wrap our brains around entire nations in poverty and the horrors that occur all around the world.Griffmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03241626591880987226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9928836.post-1132323776873654722005-11-18T09:22:00.000-05:002005-11-18T09:22:00.000-05:00Metz, you are right in saying that there is povert...Metz, you are right in saying that there is poverty and despair close to home as well. However, the situations are not equivalent. We don't have the 20 years of war, child abductions, child soldiers, etc. that the Acholi in Northern Uganda have to live with. <BR/><BR/>I like your phrase "something else to think about." Loving and caring for one group of children does not mean we can't do something for another group as well. <BR/><BR/>David, I think it was you who sent me to invisiblechildren.com first. Thank you. You will be pleased to know that it has had six showings locally already and our college kids are planning over a dozen more in the next two weeks.PatrickMeadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00741720069221746106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9928836.post-1132260325645940372005-11-17T15:45:00.000-05:002005-11-17T15:45:00.000-05:00Helpful link, though there is no need to look that...Helpful link, though there is no need to look that far away from home to see such tragedy.

No way can a person watch that DVD and NOT have their life impacted. Mark Moore told me a few weeks ago that these young men have gone BACK to Uganda to film a sequel that is coming out the first part of 06. I will be one of the first in line to get it!<BR/><BR/>Matthew, Mark and Luke all record Jesus saying regarding children "the kingdom of God belongs to such as these." <BR/><BR/>I will never forget the scene where they were packed like sardines in that building. <BR/><BR/>I ask the question Randy Harris asks...."What in God's name are we doing?"David Uhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04087224962012899721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9928836.post-1132250999611316822005-11-17T13:09:00.000-05:002005-11-17T13:09:00.000-05:00thanks for sharing this.thanks for sharing this.believingthomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07278359951689938736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9928836.post-1132196768341950512005-11-16T22:06:00.000-05:002005-11-16T22:06:00.000-05:00Thanks, Kevin, Laurie and Keith.
