God Is At Work...

I'm going to send you over to another blog today because I have a dear friend who has a 16 year old daughter and the work that God is doing in her and through her is worth taking the time to read...  It will bless your heart! 

Let me tell you a little bit about her story...  A few months ago, this young woman heard about an orphanage in Ghana that was being built to give a home to children who are rescued from slavery on the fishing boats.  Yes, slavery...  She actually saw a chief take out his notebook that was like an inventory of the boys... 

Anyway, God grabbed hold of her heart and gave her a passion for this orphanage...  Then He gave her a vision to do a benefit concert for them.  So in May, she and a team of other AMAZING teenagers, are putting together a concert with Kristian Stanfill, Josh Wilson and Unhindered...  ALL are fantastic and you regularly hear Kristian Stanfill and Josh Wilson on Christian radio stations..

So then God called her to go to Ghana...  I wasn't surprised about that because something I've learned is that when God gives you a passion, He also gives you a story.  And with Africa, you have to go and experience it to have a story because it's impossible to imagine what it's really like...

So now she's back from Ghana and she's writing about it...  And that's where I want to send you.  The post from last night will rock your heart, but if you have time, go back and catch up with the other teens too, you won't be sorry...  But at least read her other entries from the start of the trip... 

A 16 year old whose heart is (in her words) "to make Jesus famous."  Makes me stop and ask myself...  Is that the driving desire for my own life? 

So go check out the blog...  Ghana Rock And if you stop by and God moves your heart, please leave them a comment...  It's so refreshing to see teenagers who are giving their life away, so let's encourage them!
