The Days of Noah

As we, our local church, reaches out to South Africa. My heart is stirred to it's depths for the people, especially the children, who's innocent bears the brunt of the many outcomes of their condition. Not only do they face poverty, hunger, disease, but they endure the ravages of sexual abuse. It's reported that a 500,000 children each year are brutalize sexual in South Africa, many requiring surgery, multiple surgeries to repair the physical damage, not to mention the emotional damage that will haunt them the rest of their lives, if their attackers don't kill them in the act or to cover their crimes up. Click on the following link and read the article, read the despair in the young mother's life as she can see no hope, she knows what's happening to her two year old child, but there's nothing she can do. To her death only waits if she leaves. Read of the brutality inflected on this baby, the pain endured and the pain still to be endured. http://www.mg.co.za/articlePage.aspx?articleid=304811&area=/insight/insight__national/

If you've read my blog, you understand why this is so impactful to me. To say I feel connected to these kids would be an understatement. This ever growing undercurrent in my soul is erupting. At this point I can do no more than use my story to bring awareness to theirs and in all things Glorify God.
