I walked into the dimly lit room and saw big smiles and bright faces on kids that were orphaned by HIV/AIDS. For the next hour wewere exposed to the great opportunity we have to provide care to hundreds of kids just like them. Our brothers and sisters in the EFC of Congo have a vast church-driven network to bring relief to those suffering from this tragic disease. My emotions went from joy to sorrow during the presentation. Up and down over and over again. I was depressed to see these children who had lost their parents and then so proud of the church's passion and effort to place them in nurturing homes. The church is shining a bright light into the darkness. We've heard story after story of God using the church to bring hope. Hope for this life and for eternity. My eyes are being opened.
