Warrior Princess

I just finished reading "Warrior Princess," the true story of AIDS activist Princess Kasune Zulu, who is HIV positive herself. It was wonderful to read about another chosen by God to bring help and healing to some of His suffering African children. I strongly identified with Princess because she feels that this is her destiny, what her life is all about. Hey, I know that feeling! That's precisely the way I feel about my work with My BIG African Family, the forgotten children of Africa. Thank you, Princess, for the encouragement and for reminding me that although I may be "intense", as my husband sometimes says, I am not totally crazy. In fact, I love knowing what my life is all about. Sharing Jesus with my precious African Jewels is definitely worth the investment of my life.

Call to Prayer, Prayer Guide Offered

This month Every Child Ministries is having a special emphasis on prayer, spending some time each day praying for the requests of our partners as well as those of the work. Friends are encouraged to email us their prayer requests. We are also offering a prayer guide I developed called "Prayer for the Dark Places" in Africa. Of course, there are many spiritually dark places, but I have selected four to emphasize. We are hoping people will spend one week praying for each of them, and then continue to remember specific requests as God brings them to mind or lays them on their hearts. We know that it is only God who can bring the spiritual breakthroughs needed for these challenging areas. Lord, help me to be more diligent in prayer for my beloved African family.
