When I went to Liberia last year I met Sainkolo. He among others was a very good student. From time to time I still communicate with them. It is touching that a prof (as they call us) who was there only two months could still be remembered.
Recently Sainkolo and I were chatting about my latest dream, shared with you in the previous post.. This led him to realize he knows a man of integrity living in the States he could connect with me. He did, and now I am communicating with his uncle. Today at 2:30 our time, the uncle will meet others on our team, exploring the possibilities of his learning a business by which his family and those he cares about can be blessed. And then, he will be able to that knowledge to one of those fastest growing economies in the world that Bill Clinton spoke about.
Tomorrow I speak with a lady who has entertained me in her home in Uganda. She and her family are currently living in the US. Their hearts are still "home". Her husband is back in Northern Uganda right now for a month. I don't know much about their plans, but I do know that financially providing for your family is a longing for most parents of the world, regardless of where they live. I know the hearts of this family. They too would take their skills back to Uganda and transfer them to men and women there.
I have a friend in Kenya who is trying to help me. I am trying to get with my dear friend in Malawi. There are over 50 countries on that vast continent. Yes, the people there just like those here need Jesus primarily, and that would be the ultimate goal. And yet, beginnings, meeting needs along the way, getting to know people, working with them is often how we can participate with God in His work on this earth.
One last point,I REALLY DO WANT TO KNOW WHICH AFRICAN NATIONS BILL CLINTON WAS TALKING ABOUT WHEN HE SAID 6-7 OF THE WORLD'S FASTEST GROWING ECONOMIES ARE IN AFRICA.
CAN ANY OF YOU HELP ME FIGURE OUT HOW TO FIND OUT THE DETAILS OF WHAT HE WAS TALKING SBOUT?
