My name is Nicholas.
February of 08 I went on a missions trip to Botswana Africa! It
changed my life. It woke me up to the fact that there are millions
of orphans in this world and even more people living in poverty. I
don’t think us Americans know what the word poverty means. We
look at a guy on a street corner and say he lives in poverty. Not
true! Compared to other places, no one living in the U.S.A. lives
in poverty!!! There are not millions of kid wandering the streets
looking for food in America!!! Poverty is when kids die from
starvation...that is poverty!!! This is common in many African nations. And what is being done about it???? Well, there are
churches and missions organizations that send people and food down
there along with money!! But that does not even put a dent in the
poverty!! When I was in Africa,  I saw different missions
organizations and they were all working on different things. Most
churches or missions organizations don’t have the funds to do
what needs to be done. There are a lot of little churches and big
churches that want to get rid of poverty. But they can't because
they don’t have the people or money to! But what if we were to
get churches and missions organizations to work together instead of
working against each other??? We, the body of Christ, have a ton of
little armies around the world but they don’t work together, they
don’t plan together, they don’t even tell each other where or
when they are working!! So they end up working against each
other!!! Does that seem smart?? We are making this blog to try
to get support in our goal to unite missions organizations and
churches to work together against poverty!! Isn’t that what God
wants us to do?? I know that in no way would it be easy but that
doesn’t mean it is impossible!! With God every thing is
possible!! In Romans 12 it talks about how the body of Christ
is one body with many different parts!! We are the body
and we have many different parts but we are not working
together!! So what good is that?? Can we now work together???
Sure, we disagree on small things but if we agree on the important
things what is the big problem?? None!! That is what our goal is
and why we think that working together is better than working
apart!!! I want to hear you thoughts on this so please comment!
