Crisis In Buduburam


Well what started out as a good friendship with two Liberian refugees in Buduburam has become a love for an entire group of people in a very difficult situation. Now the concern is very high since they Ghanian government is wanting the refugee camp closed and wanting the people to either go back to Liberia or become citizens of Ghana. The United Nations (UNCR) has not stepped in yet to help in this situation. Some food aid sent by them was reportedly kept by the Ghanian government and the Ghanian government substituted corn for the camp. Water is scarce, medicine is pretty much non-existent. Now "police" or armed guards have entered the camp in trucks. Anyone who is protesting the $100 offer (settlement) to leave is being arrested and carried away to an unknown location by the guards. Yesterday morning over 700 women and children were taken away. I believe through local radio reports that they are being taken to the Youth Leadership camp in Accra.

So Edward and the children of Abandon Child Ministries are trying to get back home to Liberia. Stanley is also trying to quickly get out of the camp. Problem is a bus ticket is $300 and many dangerous miles for several days. Even then there is no food for them to make the journey home. What will happen to them and how will the get home? My heart breaks for these (mostly) kind people.

There is so much corruption in African governments. No wonder groups of people can not trust each other. Only Christ can save Africa. Only if hearts are changed and all operate with motives that are submissive to Christ and work to honor and glorify His name. Instead selfishness and all kinds of unrestrained wickedness and evil have torn this continent apart causing some men to act worse than wild animals.

Please pray for them and provide a small amount to help them if you can.

Expanding Earth Theory

**I don't believe in an earth that is millions of years old, so I don't buy into this theory as it is, but I post it because it's an interesting view**

I believe that the Genesis flood had a lot to do with the dramatic changes that helped shape the Earth we live in today. Remember we trust the Bible over the theory's of man, but....

I like to view all sides of a question.... I don't believe it, but again it's a new theory I have never heard before.... Tectonic plates aren't moving, but the Earth is actually expanding....
