Africa, a land that suffers from war, and starvation which in the end leads to death. West Africa suffers greatly due to the weather conditions. In Somalia, they are going on the seventh consecutive bad harvest due to a lack of rain. More than a million people are facing food shortages here and over 400,000 are actually at risk of starvation.

Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania are suffering from a serious drought forcing farmers to move to other places in search for water. Not only do they need water to keep themselves alive, but for there livestock as well. Malaria runs rapid causing several deaths.

The rebels in Sub-Saharan, have continued there fight to drive all the rual population into government run cities and towns. They isolate these cities by placing land mines and ambushes along the road.

    And since I am here, great post! Maybe we’ll run into each other in Africa :)

    … or maybe I’ll be here sending others …. humm … either way people need to hear the only way to salvation through Jesus tremendous sacrifice to cover our sin, and pay for what we can not. We MUST tell them.
