Below is a video by Chris Seay, the pastor at Ecclesia in Houston and I thought I'd share it with you all. Just something to think about - in my case, as opposed or in addition to thinking about the next gizmo or gadget I'd like to lay my hands on :-) It also is a reminder for me that, as members of the Body of Christ, we are capable of much more than we think are. Even when we think that our smallest effort does not make a difference.

Hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving if I don't talk to you before then.

Grace & peace,
Deji.

You probably know at least a bit about what is going on in Darfur (if you are a little bit hazy on the details, you can find out more at SaveDarfur.org), so I'm not going to spend most of this post on the details of what is going on there.

What I really wanted to ask is that you - think about it, pray for them, and lend your voice to the cry for action to aid our brothers and sisters who find themselves in a living hell right now. It should break our hearts that this is happening and while I'm not looking to burden any of us with a load of guilt or anything of that nature, I just wanted to call your attention to it as a way of lending my voice to the cry for help in the hope that you will, in your own way, lend your voice as well. The next time you see your pastor, ask him/her - "Are we doing or saying anything about what is going on in Darfur, Sudan?".

There are other ways you can help as well. The SaveDarfur.org website has a post called "Be a Voice for Darfur" and it lists 5 different ways that you can help.

'I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.' - Matt. 25:40

Grace & peace,
Deji.
