Here is a snippet from my friend Jennie's blog. Like mine, her heart's deepest desire is to see the world that God intended. She has devoted her first summer out of college to pursue the heart of God in Mozambique and Sudan, Africa; ministering, living and loving with great expectations of what God will do. She writes semi-regularly, and she always has incredible things to say. If you're interested in seeing God's broken world draw closer to him, I definitely suggest keeping updated with Jennie's blog as she "strives to live out the Kingdom of God here on earth."
...imagine yourself as a man or woman or child who has lived your entire life knowing only the fear of curses, spirits, powerful witchdoctors, and, perhaps if you're in a Muslim village, a distant god who cares little for you personally. Living in the bush, facing illness, seeing death from a young age, and often living with chronic illness and hunger- what might be good news for you? Would a God who cares be good news? Would a God who multiplies food and heals diseases be good news? Would a God who smiles and holds children and gives all of Himself in laid down love be good news? Would power over curses and authority over evil spirits be good news? HECK YES!
