| Summary: | In what follows I will share reflections from my participation on the African Awareness Team which traveled in Africa in December of 1984. I have not chosen to share statistics and detailed information but rather the convictions shaped by my experience. I am aware, however, that many who will read this essay are in the position to influence congregations to give sacrificially for African relief. I want to assure them that through Church World Service, our gifts for food, medical supplies, transportation, personnel services, and development are reaching the people and saving lives. The resources our gifts purchase are carefully monitored from their arrival in the countries of need to their distribution. They are also reaching the provinces in northern Ethiopia through the Christian Council of Sudan. We need to remember that the need in 1985 will be even greater than it was in 1984. |
