SENSORY OVERLOAD...

Here in Africa we face a fast barrage of unrelenting, grindingly emotional needs--a complex, inundating tide of disease, child abuse, immorality, poverty and hopelessness.

At the same time we are seeing massive growth in the number of children we reach (now 10,000+ per day) and the depth of spiritual ministry we have with the children.

Youth ministry teams have been raised up out of the orphans and vulnerable children. They go into schools presenting Jesus and they go into dense slums helping clean up and repair the huts and shacks of needy people--all in Jesus' name.

I could not be more proud of the Cup Team. They keep up this unrelenting pace by always leaning on Jesus to hold back burn-out and compassion fatigue. Only His supernatural touch sustains them.

I have the sense of walking with heroes when I'm with the Team.

Please pray for the missionaries and nationals that live so close to the edge of disaster.

UPDATE ON THE CAREPOINT CHRISTMAS PARTIES
We now have 20 of the 25 CarePoint parties covered.
That leaves only 5 CarePoints to go at $1250 each.
