Good news!

We have extended the 24 hour prayer room for another week. We as an HPC staff are committed to praying for the needs of the church, as well as for salvation of the lost. It's pretty cool to know that 24 hours a day, someone is praying for those who are hurting, who do not yet know Christ. If you or someone you know has a need, please fill out a prayer request card at church or online. Those card are prayed over every day... your need will not go unnoticed!

Also, I wanted to share with you a cool movement that's going on to help kids in Africa.
Check out this blurb from their website.
"Invisible Children, Inc. changes culture, policy, and lives through collisions of poverty and power. The Mission is the ultimate goal of Invisible Children—the resources, skills, and funds that hit the ground in Uganda, providing healthcare, safety, employment, and education. Invisible Children, Inc. believes that changing the lives of people in underprivileged areas is just as important as changing lives in the western world. The only way change can come in Uganda, and other places in need, is to educate and empower the rest of the world to do something. One of the darkest things about Africa is the rest of the world’s ignorance towards it."

I am so happy that so many people are finally getting on-board to help Africa. With all the tragedies there- in Uganda, Rwanda, the AIDS epidemic, millions of orphans- I am thrilled that people are finally doing more than just taking notice- they are taking action! Of course, organizations like Children's Cup and Mission of Mercy have been doing amazing things for years to bring the hope of Christ to the people there. Chris and I want to one day do work in Africa through Children's Cup... they are some of the best people in the world. Please pray for these organizations... donate money when and if you can. Your pocket change goes a long way in these countries.
