hope

There are many different words in the English language. We use words to describe, educate, and converse. But of all the words we use, I believe "hope" has to be the greatest and most valuable There is so much meaning behind that one word.

Doctors say when a cancer patient looses "hope" the illness begins to intensify and the patient may lose their fight with the terrible illness. There is power and value in hope! When it comes to Africa I believe God has given me a theme if I can call it that. You may have already picked up on it, its HOPE. I believe God wants his people to keep hope and don't ever lose it. 1 Corinthians 13:13 tells us that there are three things that will last forever- faith, hope, and love. I believe this verse tells us that it will always be available, although we may choose to reject it or forsake it. It is my heart to partner with Jesus and bring hope to the people of Africa.

I realize that the people of Africa have faced some terrible and some undescribable things. I just pray that they will meet Jesus and see the hope that is in Him . Life doesn't always become easier as a Christian but there is a peace, hope, and a grace that comes knowing Christ.

I love the word HOPE. . . I hope that all of us, people everywhere, will never lose hope we will never forget the power, and meaning in it.
