Another Reason Why We Do What We Do


I just watched this video on Heather's blog and my heart ached immediately.  This is just another reason why we do what we do.  Josh  & Tasha Via Ministries partners with Arise Africa, a mission based organization in Uganda, Africa.  We have had the privilege to go there personally many times and Josh's parents take a team every summer.  When you buy ANY merchandise, whether it is a CD or Josh's Devotional Book (all linked on the sidebar) the proceeds don't go in our pockets.  A portion of it goes to buy more merchandise and helps fund other projects and mission trips but a percentage of everything YOU buy goes directly to Arise Africa to help their pastors and orphans like you just saw in this video.  Wow, you have to watch this.  Your life will be changed!

Oh gosh! Just seeing that poor little boy with no clothes is making my eyes fill ! I can't watch it. It hurts too much..

God Bless you for the work you do, I would be an emotional wreck going into something like that, seeing those conditions.

I watched that last week and it was so difficult! But so true and so important to remember that we are the body of Christ. As we give and go we can reach out to the least of these.
