Why Africa? Why not? For someone who grew up with awesome parents and amazing siblings, there remained a tad bit of unnecessary selfishness on the inside. I knew all of my life the art of giving and its rewards, however, the idea did not come full circle until I visited Ghana, Africa. That particular journey resurrected my giving spirit. The people of Ghana were kind and very hospitable. We attended worship service, visited schools, dined in local restaurants and lodged at 4star properties.
Being a person of color, I believe that all people should want to visit Africa. Whether its touring Egypt to marvel at the pyramids or South Africa to gaze inside of the prison where Mandela was jailed for fighting for civil rights. It's human history! I'm often disappointed when I hear people say that they have no interest in trekking to Africa. But, then they're so passionate about visiting Italy! I'm not against visiting Italy and its on my 'to do' list but good grief! You're not Italian or Catholic!
Indeed, I also believe that christians should want to visit Israel where our Lord walked and prayed. But again, I hear the negative comments about the lack of interest of visiting Jerusalem.
This blog is all about encouraging the human spirit to 'undo' the trained psyche and to get excited about something new. An African quote says 'If you don't go, you don't know'! And I want you to be in 'the know'!
