I NEED AFRICA!

I NEED AFRICA MORE THAN AFRICA NEEDS ME

Last week, I was asked by Mocah Club to post about why I needed Africa. Reading blogs written by others who feel like me has completely opened my eyes and changed my heart.

Here is something from the heart of Barrett, part of the Mocha Club crew...

When I think of Africa, the following images immediately come to mind: Starvation. AIDS. Child soldiers. Genocide. Sex slaves. Orphans. From there, my thoughts naturally turn to how I can help, how I can make a difference. “I am needed here,” I think. “They have so little, and I have so much.” It’s true, there are great tragedies playing out in Africa everyday. There is often a level of suffering here that is unimaginable until you have seen it, and even then it is difficult to believe. But what is even harder is reconciling the challenges that many Africans face with the joy I see in the people. It’s a joy that comes from somewhere I cannot fathom, not within the framework that has been my life to this day. [read more]




So, here's the challenge, friends, family, bloggers...



Read about it.
Watch about it.
Think about it.
Pray about it.
Do something about it.
