October 22: pile-up



Last week I purchased 8 garbage bags full of stuffed animals at the Goodwill, to the fascination of everyone in the store. Today, they are in a large clump on the front lawn of campus. Everyone that comes out of class, students and teachers alike has come to look at the pile and a sign that reads -- each one of these stuffed animals represents over 200 child soldiers in Uganda....There have been over 20,000 children abducted and brainwashed since 1997. Our InterVarsity chapter has chosen to bring this story to our campus in a variety of ways this week because 1. God cares about it and so do we, and 2. we really want to start a conversation about EVIL....Is God oblivious to the messes in our world? Please pray for us as we have the opportunity to have these conversations and for those who we speak with.

Wonderful. I wish I had seen them--had thought they'd be in front of Lowry, but they (obviously) were not there. So glad that you're off to a great start.
