Meeting the Needs of the Orphans in Africa



If you have a chance today to listen to Family Life Today on the radio, do so. Kay Warren is speaking about the orphan crisis in Africa and all over the world. It is part 3 of a 5 part broadcast on adoption. If you would like to listen, click here. If you click on the player that you prefer, the broadcast will load. Or, if you prefer, you can read the entire transcript of the broadcast. It is perhaps the most convicting 25minutes of radio I've heard in a while. And it really falls in line with one of my favorite books, Don't Waste your Life by John Piper.

On another note, we will find out whether our next bundle of joy is a little boy or a little girl on Monday, 12.1.08. Stay tuned for the results.

Look at www.watoto.com for the African orphan choir that sang at our church 2 sundays ago. They were amazing. We had 3 of them stay overnight at our house. We are sponsoring a young girl named Allen from Uganda. Many of these orphans have lost their parents from Hiv/Aides and constant wars in their country. They are asking for help from the church around the world to help them raise up leaders for the next generations. Dad's going to hopefully show me how to get this through. MOM
