4 Girls in Africa

I got to talk to the four girls who are in Uganda, Africa right now serving the Lord. (You can follow their blogs at http://loveforugandanorphans.blogspot.com and http://twogirlsonedream.blogspot.com. It was so encouraging to talk to them and to hear how the Lord is using them in a foreign land.

Their hearts all spoke the same message, "What is it going to be like when we leave? How can we continue to make a difference for Africa once we come back to the States?" These brave young women have left the comforts of home and have served faithfully and taken care of the orphans that the Lord commands us all to provide for as believers. They have had their faith stretched and been forced to ask, "How does this exist in the world we live in today?"

It is hard coming back to the states and comprehending how our world can be so different when we are just across the ocean. It is difficult to understand how we have water parks in America when in Africa people die wanting water. It is hard to believe that we decide if we want Mexican or American food when people in Africa decide if they will eat today.

I am confident that the Lord sent these four ladies, as he has sent me to show us a glimpse of HIS people that he desperately wants taken care of. I do not think that once you go, you stop serving God in Africa. I am committed to life to do whatever I can to take care of God's children.
I was able to talk to the girls and let them know a simple truth, "You will never forget Africa and the faces of the children you have seen. You will never forget what you have seen, touched, and felt, and God doesn't want you too." I believe that these girls will come back and that the Lord will continue to use them to bless and be blessed by the people and children they have met in Africa.

There is so much work to be done and their needs to be more laborers for the kingdom of God in Africa. My prayer is that God would continue to call people to go to Africa and serve and I would be humbled to be a part of helping as many people go to Africa as I can. Lord use me!
