Book me on the next flight to Africa

I'm reading a book titled "The Hole in our Gospel" and now I feel the need to go to Africa. Call me naive or blissfully unaware, but I truly didn't know that 26,500 kids die every day in Africa. To read that number simply tore my heart open. I am brokenhearted by this statistic.

Then, the very next day after I started reading this book, I attended a conference for my company. And at The Little Gym's annual reunion (that's what we call it because we're like one big happy family!), I learned that we were soon beginning a philanthropic partnership with Soles 4 Souls. Their mission is to donate used shoes to people all over the world in the effort of preventing disease and helping to end the cycle of poverty. The greatest need is in Africa.

So someone's trying to get my attention to the needs in Africa. Or perhaps I am being called to be a voice for poverty and human equality. I don't know. But it's got me thinking.

I hope that you might take a few minutes to consider how you might be able to get involved too.
