Hi! everyone

I don't usually blog, simply because I get lazy sometimes, but this
morning some miracle happened I started to think!!!!!
What Was i thinking about?well a few weeks ago we had the privilege of
going to the global leadership summit
, which was held at the mosaic church in Joburg. the was one
speaker.....mmmm...... can't remember his name , but he was sharing
about what his organisation was doing about the plight of human
trafficking around the world, and the injustice again women, children
and the poor. He challenged us as Christians to do something about the
injustice in our world,Now that struck a nerve with me, call me crazy,
but for some reason I started to feel like we are not doing enough
when it comes to the injustice here in our country, sure we have one
party representing Christian at parliament, but i still feel we are
not doing enough. I have heard very little of our voices speaking
against leader's who continue to tarnish our democracy, by sending out
messages of fear and intimidation.

Very few of us have spoken up against the poverty, economic melt down,
or the bills being amended at parliament. Yes we have been serving
soup, giving clothe to those in need, I am not slamming all that work,
I feel we need to have those who will serve our people while we also
have those who will serve by challenging those in leadership in issues
that affect those in the front lines.

I am willing to start, but to be honest with you I don't know where to
start. I don't want to be a political activist NO. All I want is for
the church's voice to be heard, not just to be heard but to carry
weight in issues surrounding our communities, if 70 percent of this
country is Christian why is the church afraid of speaking up? Are we
afraid that we will loose our sponsors, our loose out on the
"generosity" the many businesses and the government offer to us? How
much will it cost? everything who will go? Will we keep quite while
thousands of Zimbabweans die a slow death from starvation?

"We must wake ourselves up! Or somebody else will take our place, and
bear our cross, and thereby rob us of our crown." William Booth
Like I said I was just thinking.
