Tom Davis, author of "Red Letters", "Fields of the Fatherless", "Priceless" and "Scared" (all books you MUST read!) and President of Children's HopeChest (the ministry to which our CarePoint is through) just posted an awesome blog post on his blog titled "Get a Life". As usual, Tom eloquently puts into words why each of us should "GO" and see for ourselves the poor, the orphan and the destitute among us. I so agree with what he says. I can post pictures of sweet faces of the children of our Warancha CarePoint. I can post stories from my own experiences. I can tell you of the need amongst such precious children. I can cry out to you to join us in being their "Hope" and "Future". But, until you experience for yourself, no one can truly put it into words adequately, and you'll never quite understand it until you just "GO".
Tom shares about 3 up and coming trips all through an amazing missions sending ministry we love called "Visiting Orphans". The "Ethiopia October" trip is the trip we've been sharing about. What fun!
So, as Tom writes, "Get a Life". As Jesus told the rich man, sell all you have and follow me. Just COME and see what eternal rewards he has in store.
We can't wait to see just who will follow.
