I don’t know how or when, but I feel like one day I will be called to go to Africa. Even it’s for a short amount of time … something will draw me there (or someONE – I dearly want to visit my little Compassion boy, Gemechu, in Ethiopia at some point and time).

Today, let us pray for God’s love to spread across this dark continent … for lives to be changed … for health and nutrition to be brought to the people … and for hope to be given where none previously existed.

God, please bless your children in Africa. Stir our hearts to love and pray for and help provide for those in need. Bring Your Gospel into hearts and homes to transform lives and draw people to You. Raise up believers to go … and open doors that have previously been closed. We trust in Your great power to do so. Amen.
