SNAPshot a day: i need africa

I need Africa more than Africa needs me.

How can we call ourselves people of faith, if we don't allow a situation in our lives that calls us to live by faith?

-Lysa TerKeurst-

I have learned so much from living here in Africa. I have learned to focus on what truly matters in life... loving God and loving people. I have been encouraged by seeing the faith of my friends who have nothing but rely on the Lord to provide their daily food, literally. I could tell you countless stories of friends who didn't know what their next meal would be and God provided, sometimes through me.

I want that kind of faith which is why I don't want the American dream. I don't want a well paying job, a big house and a fancy car... those things will pass away and only the eternal will remain.

Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in them. For everything in the world--the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life--comes not from the Father but from the world. The world and its desires pass away, but whoever does the will of God lives forever.

1 John 2:15-17

I want to live a radical life for Christ.
