matters of importance

I have been gone for a bit sorry about that. but one of the reasons is that i have had the opportunity to be involved in something really important. changing the lives of children orphaned by AIDS. I had the chance to travel and represent an amazing organization, Forgotten Voices. I was at an event that a church in new York threw for their youth.

That event changed the course of 500 children's lives in southern Africa. the whole weekend i was reminded about how big this world is and how much it isn't about me. a really good reminder. so we raised money for pastors in Zimbabwe and Zambia to use to positively impact their communities for good.

it was just so neat and refreshing to be a part of something so good and to know that my service was making a difference for God in this world. i am so thankful to get the chance to serve.

now if i can just get 9 people to come together with me.

I mentioned to Shelia one time that every time I see faces or hear stories from Africa, I'm ready to board the next plane...how great would it be to be a "dorm assistant" to a bunch of orphans...

If you're looking for any 9 people, I'd be willing to join...if you just want people in your community, that's fine...just let me know. Sounds like a great ministry though.
