AGAIN, JEFF FRUM:
After Stonic literally climbed over the biggest roadblock yet, a telephone pole fortfied with boulders in his amazing "Indiana Jones" like Land Cruiser, Steve asked Dan and me if we could just stop by the Kachibora Refugee Camp.We ended up spending a couple of hours walking through this surreal scene of extreme poverty. It didn't take long to attract every child in camp to our side. The three funny Muzungu's lead hundreds of kids in singing and dancing. It was a privilege to provide a brief moment of escape for these innocent victims.We were told by the Red Cross there were over 6,000 children in this camp that were separated from there families in the chaos. 6,000 new orphans!What amazed me was the pure joy in these children's eyes. They couldn't stop touching us. Dan and I were walking with twenty kids each clinging to us and I said to him that this place just can't exist on this planet. How can this happen? No human being, created in God's image, should ever have to live in conditions like Kachibora. Yet, God was working to redeem lives in the midst of all this suffering. My life cannot be the same after seeing what I've seen.

Jeff,
ReplyDeleteYour family is praying for you! (and Dan and the others you are with!) I'm looking forward to hearing you tell us 'in person' about the Awesomeness of the Lord!

Isaiah 41:10
"Do not fear for I am with you,
Do not anxiously look about you for I am your God.
I will strengthen you, surely I will help you,
Surely I will uphold you with My righteous right hand."
Psalm 3:6
"I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people,
Who have set themselves against me round about." (and surrounded my car...)
Psalm 10:17-18
"O Lord, Thou hast heard the desire of the humble;
Thou wilt strengthen their heart,
Thou wilt incline Thine ear,
To vindicate the orphan and the oppressed,
That man who is of the earth may cause terror no more."
p.s. What about Evans?? Nobody mentioned him in the blogs.
Not sure if this worked the first time...
