Today is Africa Malaria Day. Malaria affects 500 million people a year and kills over 1 million people each year. 80% of those deaths occur in Sub-Saharan Africa. An African child dies every 30 seconds from this disease. This should anger you and break your heart? Why? Because Malaria is a treatable, preventable disease. For…

I’m home on another snowy Colorado day and looking out the window at 9 inches of snow. Christmas at the end of April – wonderful! I ran across some inspiring quotes about what it means to be Christ in our broken world and someone who truly follows him. Hope they shine a light in your…

Sorry to give Joburg, South Africa, bad press, but truth is truth. Johannesburg is the most dangerous, deadly city on our planet. Recent stats show that there are over 50 murders per day, 700 assaults, 356 aggravated robberies, and 150 rapes. People, that’s more deadly than Iraq. And they are hosting the 2010 World Cup?…

We’re supposed to be in the middle of Spring. Not happening. Here’s the view in our back yard. Honestly, this is getting a bit ridiculous! I’m ready for flowers budding and green grass. So much for global warming. I’m off to Seattle tomorrow for the weekend to speak at John Knox Presbyterian Church. I’ll also…

Thanks to all of you who have responded about the purses. Many of you asked what they look like so here is a picture. They come in many difference colors and styles. The widows sell them for $15. We still have some left and are taking orders.

How do you help orphans whose communities have been ravaged by AIDS? Answer: Whatever you can. Here’s another picture of what a care point looks like in Africa. A very primitive shack used to feed and help children. This is Mrs. Ruby, one of the widows we are now working with to provide food, medicine,…

It’s springtime at home here in Colorado. That means budding flowers and trees, green grass, hummingbirds, and warm temperatures – right? Wrong! Take a look at our front yard this afternoon. Wish you were here to cross country ski in our neighborhood! But the girls were warm inside after church in their Easter dresses. Aren’t…
