The thought keeps running through my mind over and over again, "But what can I do?" I want to do so much but what? I can send money and pray. To things that seem so boring lol....right? (Or am I the only one that feels that way sometimes? Don't judge me I am just being honest). But HONESTLY money and prayer are two very important and powerful tools. Organizations need money to fund their projects, children need sponsorship and countries overwhelmed with evil are in serious need or intercessory prayer. But what else can we do? GET EDUCATED. GET CONNECTED. BECOME AWARE. If I do not fully understand the need that I will not be moved within my heart to seek change. Who changes their lives for something or someone they know nothing about?
So here are a few of my favorite websites and links that I have been on constantly. Reading, watching, learning. I feel like my mission right now is just that. So I hope you will be inspired to watch these videos and read the links.
Also, I just recently contacted Agape International Mission and they sent me a pamphlet and dvd in the mail for free and it was very educational. Another great one everyone is talking about is the Half the Sky documentary (go to www.pbs.org/halfthesky)
