Broken

So I was on facebook today when I saw that my friend's brother had posted a link, it was to this website, I Am Second on this website there is a video by a guy named Blake Mankin he talks about Africa, and talks about how broken he was when he got of the plane when he landed in Sudan. I'm leaving for Rwanda on Wednesday, and I'll be updating this while I'm gone. Until now, I hadn't thought much about how different it will be, how I will see people suffering hardships that I could never imagine. People living in a country still haunted by a terrible genocide that occurred fifteen years ago, broken by watching their sons, daughters, mothers, fathers, friends and more all taken away and murdered. People who are truly broken.

Part of me scared of how broken I will become for these people, the other part in awe of God's glory and wonder knowing that whatever happens God will use this trip to change lives.

While I'm gone, I urge you to pray that the people who are going with me, as well as my self will be changed by God in these twenty days, to further become the people he wants us to be, and the people this world needs to see. Also pray for the people we encounter, pray that they see something in us that just screams hope, that just screams of the supernatural - pray that they would see Christ in us at all times.
