Valerie In Africa
Following are some excerpts from some of Valerie's emails about the work she is doing in Uganda:
5 days a week I'm at the babies' home. I usually work with the kids that are 2-4 months and feed them and play with them and all that fun stuff. Sometimes I hang out with the toddler group. The kids at the home are newborn-about 2 then they go to the villages to live. But there's some special needs kids so they're still at the babies home. One of the kids I've been spending a lot of time with is 3 and his name is Abdul. He was abused a lot by his parents and has a lot of scars all over his body. His parents tried to kill him on a few occasions and the last time they poured acid down his throat. So now he can't take solid food and they're looking into having some sort of surgery to try to repair this. I'll try to post some pictures of him soon. He's an awesome kid. If you look on Watoto's website under the babies home section you can see a picture of him. I've been spending a lot of time with the toddlers the last few days and it's been fun. I'll try to get more pictures up on my blog soon for people to see.
...another thing that I'm doing is going to the Watoto villages 2 days a week with people from Watoto and KPC to talk to students in their schools. We do a life skills program and have talked about things like Godly values and peer pressure. The youth pastor from KPC spoke last week so we got to hang around and talk to students after. It's been fun so far.

One Church?
More than 1,400 Churches Aim for Becoming 'One Church'
from www.crosswalk.com
According to the Christian Post, Life Church pastor Craig Groeschel has launched a month-long series called "One Prayer" in partnership with more than 1,400 churches with more than 800,000 attendees around the world, all sharing sermons via video and a prayer to "make us one."
"I wonder if God ever looks at all of His churches, all the Christian churches all over the world, and asks, 'Why can't you guys come together? Why are you so divided when my Son Jesus prayed 'Father, make them one,'" said Groeschel.
The series was born more out of repentance than a passion for unity, Groeschel explained. It was his desire not to be competitive against other believers and to instead be united. Unity depends on recognizing the real "one enemy" - Satan - and not other churches, he continued.

Father's Day Thought...a few days late
Working Man Hands
by Tim Challies
Like most little boys, I idolized my father as a child. You would have had a difficult time convincing me that there was anyone smarter, faster or stronger than my dad. I really did believe it when I told my friends "my dad can beat up your dad!"
And it may well have been true.

Worship
We watch for it. We feel for it. We listen for it.
Sometimes we try to restart it.
Sometimes it is the last sign of life. Sometimes it is the first sign of life.
As long as it is around...there is life.
What is it and why is it important?
Come, worship with us, Sunday, and find out.
