AFRICA


This week, I came across three different news from Africa that touched me very much:

1) Eritrea - Helen Berhane (Persecution and torture of Christians).
2) Rwanda - Juan Amri (Testimony of escape and deliverance of civil war).
3) Uganda - Invisible Children (Children who are persecuted and killed and so escape alone at night)

It made me think how Africa today still suffer as much from the wickedness of man, with curses and oppression of Satan.

Here are some current data:

Africa is the world's poorest continent, where they are almost two-thirds of people with HIV in the world, the continuation of armed conflict, epidemics, and the advancement of worsening poverty undermine its development.

Several regions of Africa are plagued by frequent bouts of food shortages, especially in rural areas.

Finally, armed conflicts plaguing the continent is another factor of impoverishment, resulting in millions of refugees and displaced persons without capacity, in regions at war.

Africa is kind of like that homeless man who spent all the days ahead, but often ignored because I think we can do nothing for him.

Some say that we are a drop in the ocean, but I feel like a small molecule of a drop in the ocean.

What can I do for Africa?

"(...) Pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective. "James 5:16

I can pray! And if I can so can you. Spend one day a week and that is pray for Africa. They go through such situations often, even unimaginable for the people of pain and suffering.

Pray for the innocent, to find salvation and the conversion of the wicked.
For those who can, there are several serious organizations that can help with donations.

Stay in Peace!
