what will we do?

I eagerly anticipated Kristin's final Kenya post this morning--even asking the boys to check for it during their computer-math time.  Here it is.  Don't miss it.

She asks us:  Now that we've seen, what will we do?

Here are some ideas:

- If you have a blog, spread the word about Compassion International.

- Sit down with your kids and see how many multiples of $38 (sponsor amount for one child) you can create by cutting unnecessary expenses/luxurious experiences.

- Read Bible verses as a family about caring for orphans.

- Spread the word to family and friends, through letters or e-mails.

This world has enough food, enough clothing, enough shelter, enough money.  It's a matter of us sharing the wealth.  It's that simple.  Yes, governments are corrupt.  But Compassion does their life-saving work despite corruption.  Even North Korea allows humanitarian work to go on in their country--Franklin Graham has been there many times.

One thing is true.


We have to do something.


We will be held accountable now, for our new knowledge.

This has been heavy on my heart. I miss going too. You really are never the same after seeing the things she saw. How could you be?
