“Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.”- James 1:27-28
There is a song written by Brooke Fraser called “Albertine.” It is about a trip she took to Africa and a child she met that changed her life forever. Parts of this song say exactly how I feel and how God has used my three trips to Africa to forever affect and change me. Here are a few excerpts from her song:
Now that I have seen, I am responsible
Faith without deeds is dead
now that I have held you in my own arms, I cannot let go till you are
Faith without deeds is dead
now that I have held you in my own arms, I cannot let go till you are
I am on a plane across a distant sea
But I carry you in me
and the dust on, the dust on, the dust on my feet
I will tell the world, I will tell them where I’ve been
I will keep my word
I put this video together that gives a glimpse of the month my team and I spent in Swaziland, Africa. We had so much fun and fell in love with each other and the people of Swaziland in the process. Enjoy!
