I was deeply moved by this book. It's about a young American woman who goes to Africa at 18 or 19 and ends up staying there and adopts 13 or 14 orphans. That's amazing. I am so inspired whenever I read stories like this.
I believe that Christians are all called either to give up everything and do missions or limit our lifestyle so that we can better support those who have given up everything to do missions. I believe that I all in the latter camp. I'm a sender not a go-er. Although I would like to do missions for a year at one point. I'm currently taking language course so that I can go visit my missionary friend for year. Maybe in the next 10 years...?
At any rate, this book made me start thinking about what more could I do to support people like Katie? That's how I decided to fast another day (and give away that money I save on meals) and to start this blog (to help keep my eyes on the prize).
Incidentally, Katie also has a blog: kissesfromkatie.blogspot.com.
