Wow sometimes the task ahead just looks to big doesn't it...
Now I am not here to save the Congo, I'm not really even here to change the Congo. All the NGO's in the world can not change the Congo into what we believe is a functioning fair truly democratic country.
But like all habits, it is going to take a very long time, to get where? I'm not really sure. The goal isn't to make them into another north America...
I do believe (I know that some will disagree with me) but I do believe that the bible really does give some very strong advice on how to live a fulfilled and satisfied life. We can start as simple as, don't steal, don't lie, don't murder, treat others as yourself and Love the Lord your God will all your heart soul and mind.

That is why I love maf because we seek to spiritually and physically transform.
So I'm not to sure if I was trying to say a whole lot, or making any sort of point, or just trying to hash out the thoughts that have been going through my mind while I have been here and looking forward to elections.
But at the end of all I have faith, hope and Love for the Congo.
Faith, Hope and Love of these the greatest is Love. For without love, the rest is just clanging on a really annoying Gong.

ReplyDeleteYou are on the right track to start off your journey, good for you!
ReplyDeleteNorth America, or the western world, is not the solution to improve everybody's life in the world. We tend to think it is, and impose it to the rest of the world. But where does it lead us? Poverty for most, riches in excess for a few. And the relationships between us, human, almost to a halt.
Yes, God is the only answer. Only when Jesus will reign on earth will there be justice for all.
