My life long passion is to live giving my life away, and I do all I can to inspire others to do the same.
I grew up in Africa and in many ways Africa is still my home, so much of my passion lands here.
I believe the greatest challenges facing this generation lie in Africa.
Jesus talked about a hurting man laying on the roadside, today that man's name is Africa.
Right now I'm calling people everywhere to respond to three great needs:
1. Eliminate Extreme Poverty
A billion people live on less than a dollar a day. It doesn't have to be that way.
Economist Jeffery Saches says if we, the developed world, pool our resources we can end extreme poverty by the year 2025.
I invite you to be a part of the solution with me.
2. End the Injust treatment of Women
Sex slavery is still alive in Africa. Women are still being beaten and stoned to death.
Because of the Imago Dei every person has great value, worth, dignity, and beauty.
You and I must speak up for those who have no voice. We must do all we can to end injustice and oppression.
3. Eradicate Malaria
Diseases like malaria and AIDS are ravaging the African landscape.
Every 30 seconds a child in Africa dies of malaria. It doesn't have to be this way.
Malaria is utterly treatable and can be eradicated. We must rally to put a bed net in every dwelling and begin to spray every swamp.
Malaria can be eradicated, even in Africa. Making a difference starts with one person -- that one person is you. |
