West-Africa

I just stumbled onto this information - makes my heart ache!

This is the area of Africa that I feel called to - at SOME point.

French-speaking Africa.

I recently told Rich that I don't know if I EVER want to go back to Africa.

The PAIN I experience with what I see and hear there is just about too much to handle...

Of course, I WILL go back.

I HAVE to.

(as of today, there are 58 children sponsored by our church-members in the "Hope In Villages+" project and this will have to be followed up - 

especially the + part...)

But not soon.

Just a 2 1/2 week trip has pretty much consumed my life for 2 months.

And my family needs me.

But nonetheless, my heart breaks for these dear people in West-Africa.

LORD, have mercy!
