The Truth About Islam
One of the groups that we want to reach out to are muslims, and today, a story on Yahoo! News really hit home:

This breaks my (Bob) heart, as it does Janell's, as the innocence of childhood is snatched from these children in the name of islam, because satan has clouded their minds with false hopes and lies. I have begun studying more and more about islam, in an effort to try and win these people to Christ. Islam has a near death grip across northern Africa, and is obviously spreading rapidly across the globe. Although the above story is from western Africa, and we are planning to go to eastern Africa, it has a very real presence there, too, especially on the coastal areas, where it is definitely the dominant religion.
I would ask that you pray for both Janell and I, that we might effectively minister the Gospel to these folks who so desperately need to hear the real truth.

"If any man shuts his ears to the cry of the poor, he too will cry out and not be answered"
~Proverbs 21:13
Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world"
~James 1:27
I pray that this video of Daughtry in Uganda will touch your heart, that it will stir up something that will make you stand up and help those who cannot help themselves! To possibly cut out one dinner night out a month to sponsor a child, to provide for them a meal everyday, to be able to put them through school...........I guarantee it will change you life!

Longing
So I was in Columbus this past weekend with my dear friend for an Early Childhood Education Conference. And as I just loved the Diversity of the city, I found myself sobbing Friday night at Easton Center, as I watched all the African-American people, and came across a girl who reminded me of my dear Pamela from Uganda, and was approached by a teenager who was a Bashir but 10 years older!! Bashir, (photo above) a young boy who lives in a slum in Uganda and has the privelage and honor of attending Eden Literacy School there in Uganda. My friend looked at me, and says your heart is in Africa isn't it? And it's almost been a year since I have been there, but yes, my heart is still there, and longs to be there again soon!
Thank you to all who read this, and pray for us! I love you all so much.
