Hey Everyone. One last post for March 9th, 2009.

This is a link I would love if you followed:

WCAC Home page

Since spending time in Burtigny, I really developed faith in the work that some wonderful people are doing there. (you know who you are ;) )

Their heart is communication. They want people to be informed AND to have ways to bring change. This is my heart as well.

In any case, this website is a great place to start if you want to learn more about critical issues facing our world right now.

If you're anything like me, you feel uninformed.

I've always felt that things were going on in the world that I simply did not know about. It upset me that school didn't teach me these things.

Yet, when given the chance, I didn't pursue the knowledge. Maybe I felt ignorance was bliss... if I didn't know, I wouldn't be reminded of how I wasn't being a part of the solution (not even in a small way). I don't know if that is you, but it was and to a great degree still is me.

It's hard to inform yourself... to find the motivation, emotional strength, and courage to face hard facts. Yet, isn't it obvious to all of us? If we don't know about it, or want to know, who will find out about the forgotten ones? If the church doesn't want to look at pain, who will answer their cries? We must understand their brokenness if we desire to answer them with the love that Christ offers, that Christ is.

Anyways, all that to say, this website is full of great information. I've actually agreed to partner with the centre and do some research for them. If you are interested in finding out more, please check it out or talk to me.

ALSO, if you feel like you would be up for praying into some of the critical issues men, women, and children are facing as we speak, please scroll down to about halfway to the bottom of the page. On the left side there is a place to click to sign up for the prayer guide. It says "stand with us in prayer" - you can't miss it!

It's very professionally done, inspiring, and informative.
