Robert's painting

Here is a picture from last night...our room is turning into an art studio...I love it. Robert will probably sell this painting to somone from the vistors center and then he will western union the money to his Kenyan church so they can go on an outreach this weekend. Robert lives in a mudhut with his mother and Grandmother and attends a church that meets outside on the dirt. I am treasuring this friendship that is teaching me so much about the body and Christ and how we can partner with our brothers and sisters that do not have the resources they need. If their church just had a laptop and a projector they could show the Jesus film to reach thousands that do not know the love that God has shown us through Jesus. sidenote: (so through Cheon last week I came to peace with the prosperity Gospel) The prosperity Gospel is true but it has to be handled by "kingdom minded" Christians who are walking in maturity, joy, and love and abandonment to the purposes of God. Otherwise it is perverted and people end up with a more comfortable life and nice gardens but the african bush still goes without projectors, laptops, healthcare, and clean water. Sorry...I am journaling outloud...but this is the kind of thing that is being changed within me.
