Victoria brought to my attention an article in the London Times written by a devote and well-known atheist about Africa's need for God; and not just any God mind you, but the God of the Bible. To whet your appetite I quote below:
"Now a confirmed atheist, I've become convinced of the enormous contribution that Christian evangelism makes in Africa: sharply distinct from the work of secular NGO's, government projects and international aid efforts. These alone will not do. Education and training alone will not do. In Africa Christianity changes people's hearts. It brings a spiritual transformation. The rebirth is real. The change is good."
To read the piece in its entirety, click on the link below, but I warn it will shake your faith, like it did my own weak one, to rise with greater hope in God:

Asking for more,
