*Organized Chaos*

Mar. 10, 2007 - Africa

Afrca has always had a very special place in my heart. For as long as I can remember, I have felt called to pray for the people of Africa and have felt a special pull towards this vast and poverty-stricken nation. As some of you know, Ray and I went to Zambia, Africa in 2003 on a mission trip with World Vision. We were able to meet several children, families and communities who are influenced by and directly benefit from child sponsorship. In fact, we were able to meet two of the five children whom we, as a family, sponsor! It was so exciting to be able to meet these beautiful and precious children and their families, pray with them and just love on them!

For those who may not be familiar with the ministry of World Vision , let me share a bit about them...

World Vision is a Christian relief and development organization dedicated to helping children and their communities worldwide reach their full potential by tackling the causes of poverty.
World Vision helps transform the lives of the world’s poorest children and families in nearly 100 countries, including the United States. Their non-profit work extends assistance to all people, regardless of their religious beliefs, gender, race, or ethnic background.
Relationships are the starting point and the end goal of World Vision’s work. Through relationships with community leaders, World Vision’s staff help communities set goals that families can achieve by working together. By their demonstration of God’s love through their work, they hope that people will experience life in all its fullness.

Please take a minute right now and pray for the children all over the world who suffer from hunger - physical and spiritual - that their need for nourishment may be fulfilled.
Take a minute to visit the children below, from Africa, who need your support, both financially and through prayer.

Blessings to you and your family today.
Go hug your kids and tell them how special they are to you!!

I love WV we have been sponsering a boy "Fred" from Bolivia for 7 years now. I cant even begin to imagine how amazing it must be to actually get to meet your sponsored child!!!

We have something in common as my heart too is with the people of Africa and if I hearts desire comes to pass we will one day adopt a couple or few children from the country. I pray about it often and it tugs at my heart constantly!

Thanks for sharing this wonderful post and the prayer requests for these children!

With all of the toys, books and school stuff filling our home, it tends to looks as if it is void of any order. In reality we are very systematic in the way our main parts (each family member) are connected, so as to form one whole unit (our family), thus creating "organized chaos".
