One of the teenagers in my church has a website of her poetry...
Two of my colleagues are trying to change the world through a small business...
One of the young adults is in South Africa for two years serving with Acres of Love...
One of the young moms is also in South Africa right now. She wrote these words on her site that are about as satisfying to a pastor's heart as anything:
This is not a vacation. This is a God assignment. Since I gave my life
to Christ I have prayed unceasingly to be used by Him to help save the
world and make a lasting impression in whatever place He wanted to use
me. And of course, He has been so faithful to His word. I am being used
by God, the creator of the universe to reach out to suffering orphans
in South Africa, who by no fault of their own, are victims to the
tragic AIDS pandemic. This is how God is at work to restore the world.
He uses his faithful believers and followers to be His presence and
action to a hurting people that need to experience his love and grace.
Why me, there in South Africa? Why that cause? I don't know, I don't
question. I just thank God for answering my prayers, for trusting me,
for using me, for making my life purposeful. I am an example to my
young daughters that when you surrender to the God that created you and
He will raise you up to do great things in this world.
