laurie in africa

It's 4:08 p.m. in Ethiopia right now. According to Laurie's itinerary, she has painted a mural today at a transitional home and has gone to the Kids Kare orphanage. It is my understanding that this orphanage is where she and Kent's future child will be from. Can you imagine that....meeting and playing with the children and knowing that one of the children will someday be a part of your family back home?

I've been burdened in prayer for Laurie and that group this week. She is in "to the core" kind of environments these days...no fluff to mask the raw reality of injustice and poverty and the insane gap between the two worlds of have's and have not's. Tomorrow, their group goes to the Korah city dump to work with kids. How can city dump and kids even fit into the same sentence?
