Feb. 21. 07…Immense Need

Today we started our day with Vincent teaching the computer classes about self-image. On Wednesdays Vincent teaches the class on self-image, how to prepare for interviews, basic life skills, basically anything that will build them up as people and their confidence level (Dad you could do your Pauer People stuff here). Anyways, it is always refreshing to hear how God created me in His image and that God doesn’t make mistakes. Constance is feeling better so we headed to Soshanguve. We came upon a big challenge in our line of work and that is the amount of need that everyone has. I am not talking about want, but dyer need. It is very challenging to hear for hours in the scorching sun about all the things that are needed (land, food for the orphans, money for a pastorial salary (to feed his family), etc.) All of these things are good and God has planted them in their hearts but they don’t have the resources to do the things that make it happen. As of right now Africa Revolution doesn’t have the resources either to just pump $, time, and man power into all of these projects. So it is a hard place to be in because the desire for AR is to be able to help, but we can only do so much with our few resources. How does one know when to draw the line with helping? We have gotten to a point where the need is soooo big and we are sooo small, but God calls us to dream bigger than ourselves.
