Very convicting on an afternoon when I've been whining about the heat and a few annoying quirks on Facebook. Even as I was doing it, part of me was saying, "Really, Margaret? Really?!" Anyway, it is good to be reminded to pray for tragedies around the globe that seem so huge and hopeless. What can one person do? You're right, of course. One person can pray. And I think, in eternity, when we realize just how potent our prayers really were, we will feel foolish, indeed, for all the times we said or thought, "All I can do is pray," as if that was insufficient. As if that was not enough. Blessings! Hey, Nathan-

He is a friend of mine. I am a member of GSM International Board of Directors. I attended the same Good Friday luncheon you speak about in this report. In 2006, I visited Jeremy in Burudi. It was during a time of war. 27 people were killed the first night we spent in Bujumbura, Burundi. At 3 AM that morning we were awakened by the sound of gunfire and bombs going off. At the break of dawn, the sound and sight of war stopped. Soon the people of the city were on the streets, and heading to church. Jeremy's church was the most "alive" church I have ever had the pleasure to attend. Blessings to you, Laura Fribbs Hi Nathan,
