One Van. One Village. (125)
Wednesday, February 18th, 2009
Thanks for your support over the last several months, reading my blogs. Living in the blogosphere over the last several months, God has allowed me to meet some incredible people/leaders whose hearts are broken for God for his people, one of which is Milan Ford.
Milan is the author of ThePewView blog, has a book coming out soon, is a survivor of ministry and loves Red Vine licorice. I have grown to really appreciate his insight, leadership, and friendship. A couple of weeks ago he posted a video that wrecked him and then motivated him to get involved. That involvement led him to help Laurie Kroll, Director of Village2Village Project in Uganda, raise $16,000 to buy a van that will help them continue to serve the villages of Uganda. My kids and I watched the video one morning before I took them to school. The video touched me deeply for several reasons.
1. Our church has a heart for missions in Africa (Congo and Liberia). My partners and I got a chance to see the suffering firsthand when we visited those countries.
2. Our family's love for the continent was expanded and deepened when Marvin Jr. and I visited South Africa in 2007.
3. Our keyboardist, Enock Segawa, whom we love deeply, is from Uganda and I know how his heart yearns for his people.
I know the economy is struggling and I know you are giving to your church and probably a host of other organizations, but I would like for you and your family to consider this ministry. If you will, take a moment to watch the video and learn a little more about the Village2Village Project. The Williams tribe has already made a contribution and is praying for Milan as he champions this cause. Thank you and may God richly bless you.
