See those eyes . . . watching YOU?
Reaching Africa's Children is the part of
Vision4AfricaMinistries that reaches out to the little ones all around us. Everywhere you go in Africa . . . the village . . . the town . . . the huge city (like Lagos, Nigeria) . . . the remotest area where only donkey carts travel . . . you will see eyes . . . just like the ones pictured here . . . watching you.
Sometimes, someone is brave enough to call out, or wave as you pass by. But mostly, it is the eyes . . . looking in wonder and often fear, knowing you have something they need . . . but never knowing what you will give them.
Reaching Africa's Children is a task force striving to awaken an army. We need workers to help touch the lives of over half the population of this continent. They need Jesus . . . and many don't even know it. Jesus loves them . . . and most have no idea about that.
Our goal is to share the gospel with these little ones, giving them a chance to grow in His grace and truth. Africa is a huge continent, densely populated, and with few available resources for their children. But Jesus loves them . . . we know it and we want them to know it too.
So, in West Africa, I work to reach over 132,000,000 children under 18 years of age. Sis. Paula Richardson works in East Africa, and Sis. Vicki Simoneaux works in Central/Southern Africa with hundreds of millions more. We three make up the Reaching Africa's Children committee, and we need all the help we can find.
In Ghana, I am blessed to share the burden with a National Board that is concerned and open to suggestion. There are Children's Ministry representatives in all nine of Ghana's regions. We are working to see Sunday school (children's ministry) teachers in every local church. Sis. Colleen Carter and Sis. Pam Sisco (fellow missionaries in Ghana) share this burden and vision, and we are seeing God move . . . in the lives of children, pastors, and teachers.
Will you join our work?
Will you pray for Reaching Africa's Children?
Will you fast with us, one day each week, to see God touch the hearts of more teachers and pastors too?
Will you become part of Reaching Africa's Children?
WE NEED YOU TOO!!!!!
