A few weeks ago I saw the end of a program on tv about what efforts are going on in Iraq and Afghanistan to help children to go school and become educated, and in that avoid falling into the hands of Al-Qaeda. I was compelled to help in their efforts, to the degree that we can. Hey, something is better then nothing! So, above the kids are helping pack the last of the 12 school packs we put together, most of the supplies picked up off sale racks (bonus!). We will also see if we can locate so clearanced out blankets to ship with them, as blankets are on the sites list of urgent needs. When I watched it, I could see how building a bridge of trust and communication between the US and Afghanistan now, through education and other humanitarian deeds, could open doors later for missionaries bringing the Gospel of Jesus to this country, how beautiful would that be!
