I am a missionary in the Congo, and especially on the eastern part of the DR Congo working with Congo Mission in Action as an agency established to help Orphans who are under the impact of HIV-AIDS by showing them the love of God through food, shelters and medical care. Only from the Areas of Uvira going down to Fizi, Congo Mission in Action is looking after 317 kids who deeply need your help in one of the areas mentioned above. We are working in the DR Congo under the open umbrella of Simple Life Ministries. This kind of pain that these kids are facing can only be alleviated by the power of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and through actions of love that every believer is asked to share from God's Word. Luke 12:35, James 2:12-13. God bless you as you read his Word. This is something that touches the heart of many.

It reminds me of the rich man Jesus told to go 'sell everything and follow Him' and the dissapointment that made him 'walk away'. Great that David (above) mentions Dr. Krapf. After six years in Kenya, the missionary society that sent him were outraged that he had only made six (baptised) converts. Krapf had seen the 'destitute nature of African life' and had opted to first opening up the 'communication' bind that even as the gospel were preached easier in the dialects of the native, the holistic 'social civilisation' be made a humanitarian obligation of any missionary trying to tame and serve Africa. Krapf had it rough with his benefactors. When he wrote back of a mountain (17,058ft) on the equator with 'snow', some mission sponsors wanted him recalled on account of 'mental sickness'. Few even considered that Mt. Kenya was(is) 700 Km away from Krapfs coastal camp. The man of God had evangelised that far inland. "Snow on the Equator?" they screemed...... This initiative on AIDS orphans is just part of the 'snow' people in the stable and opulent Western World will find difficult to believe until realities are brought home by those who have sacrificed 'all' to re-work the Krapf legacy in Kenya. If it is not against the blog rules - I beg to be edited - the Wikipedia version of the Krapf story is told at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johann_Ludwig_Krapf . God Bless.

Thank you to the family which was touched by this. It took Dr. Krapf and Livingstone to come to Africa to know how much Africa needs spiritual intervention.
