Oh Africa, it pains me to think back on your beautiful country. I recall the bountiful fruits and vegetables, yet people your people are starving to death. Your country is proof of how devisating greed can be. Gods wrath screams from the ditches were babies are thrown away with no hope. famine, drought, and pleagues . What a price, God , Africa needs your grace.
Oh Africa, I think of the children playing, their beautiful bright smiles, teeth as white as snow. Musungu, Musungu, I can still hear their happy greetings.Your peoples deep, brown eyes told stories. Their gentelness and love pierced my heart with a valuable jewel that I will forever carry with me.
Oh Africa, how I miss the sight of bannana trees that lined so many a feild. People holding in to each other, where love is free for the taking. children running,playing, laughter filled the air. How on earth could these aids ridden kids be so care free? I can't fathom the hardships your people suffered through centuries of drought, famone and displacement.
Oh Africa, we come to your land to bring you truth. Acrossed many countries we traveled to bring back your word, the word that began there. The land cries out and God whispers to us. Through the centutries his language has been lost. We became Gods instruments that played the most beautiful melody. As a group of string instruments he pulls us one by one. The children here his music and sing along.
Africa, God's land, Gods people you've forever changed me.

- Darcey
- as a young child I was traumatized by my mother leaving, I was about 2 and still remember the pain. Through this hardship I have become who I am, with a strong devotion to my family my path is alot different then the one my mother chose I have a great concern for children that have been abandoned and that is what led me to Africa this past December

Hey Darcey!!
Thanks so much for your encouraging comment,I am so excited to go!
I know you must be loving Africa... it's impossible to go there and not fall in love with it! I was in Kenya in 2005. It was my first time out of the country and was certainly life changing. I hope to be able to return one day. My sister has been able to make several trips there as well, particularly to Uganda and Rwanda. She works with Prescription for Hope at Samaritan's Purse. It's neat to get to hear her stories.
Good luck and God Bless you in all your work.
