Meanwhile in Africa... No More!

Hands at Work
8 June 2019

It only takes one spark in dry grass to cause a wildfire! And that is something that we believe in. And that's something that we love, because a spark is not something major and impressive. A spark is just something small and seemingly insignificant.

She's so vulnerable. The Cyclone hit her mom and her hut, and overnight they disappeared. They left the village four hours into the bushes in a very tough area where men don't like to go.

She used to have a number of children staying in her hut. And when I stayed there, I would sit outside in the evenings around the fire, and all these kids would come sit around me. I could never have imagined that this granddaughter would one day decide just to pack up and to go.

We just saw a beautiful scene of a valley and the sun. Somebody commented how beautiful it is. And I could just say to them, "Yeah, we can see the beauty so easy, but can you see the brokenness around you also? Can you also see the pain?"

Meanwhile in Africa... Stake in the Ground

Hands at Work
27 April 2019

Everything gets pushed down, down, down, down until it reaches those at the bottom of the barrel. Our widows are now getting kicked off the piece of land that they are renting for a few dollars a month. Really just living in a corner of somebody's property in the shack.

Last weekend I left Mozambique and I actually went straight to Swaziland to go and work there for a few days. And while I was in Swaziland, I started developing severe malaria. And I had no medication with me.

Hands at Work

One of my prayers has always been: Lord when those times must come to me, may your name be glorified. And that's going to take Supernatural power because in myself, I've got nothing.

One of the first things that you learn when you're on ground zero in Africa after a tragedy like this is just the incredible small margin of error the poorest of the poor people have before a normal, big problem or crisis turned into a disaster.

Meanwhile in Africa... Worth Fighting For

Hands at Work
23 March 2019

There's always a thin line! A thin line between enjoying what we have and being reminded that we live in a broken world and that we the privileged ones don't have a duty, don't have a burden necessarily but have the incredible privilege to change other people's lives.

Meanwhile in Africa... Jesus Brings Hope

He had this deep sadness around him. He didn't want to go to school anymore. He was just hopeless. No plans. I said to Eric, "Eric if the good news of Jesus is true, and it really brings life, I want to see it in Mungu, because for me it's only good news if it can change the most broken person."

We were all so surprised when we came back together again, and we discovered that all these young people wanted to do was to tell us their story. And we sat for hours and hours listening to their stories of pain and rejection.

The first time I saw her, this little girl was trying to climb over these huge rocks to get our feeding point. This little girl, determination on the face, climbing, and then as she looked up, I saw that naughty look in her eyes, as she started running towards our Care Point.

The masses of children and women that came down to the lake and last two hours to carry heavy burdens of water on their backs are gone. Safely in their huts, getting ready to face the dark night here in Goma.

This gift from Heaven become a refugee in Africa. Through him the message became clear. "No one is excluded! There's Hope for all! His Mercy is bigger than our mess!" What can be a better narrative than this good news?

As we serve in Hands at Work with my husband, there was a time we were going through challenges and trials. We lost hope and, of course, we were receiving encouragement from friends and family.

Illuminate... Love

Hands at Work
15 December 2018

I have believed, for so long, that God is this God who is constantly judging. Walking around with a clipboard assessing everything I'm doing, to see if I'm worthy of love. I've grown up with God. I've got a family who loves Him and has served Him, but I misunderstood who he was.
