God has given me a heart for Africa, the passion to open others' eyes to the tragedies occuring on that continent everyday, the tragic happenings that is their everyday lives. God has instructed us to care for the poor, the orphaned, those who can't help themselves. The greatest commandment is to love, to love God and others. They are my neighbors, they are my brothers and sisters, God created them and loves them more than I imagine. So I will love them.
This BBC article is a diary from an aid worker in Kenya right now. It's pretty eye-opening what he is describing aout the happenings in that country after the unrest that has occured after the recent rigged Presidental elections. Check it out.
Pure and lasting religion in the sight of God our Father means that we must care for orphans in their troubles, and refuse to let the world corrupt us.
