THIS IS MY DEAR FRIEND ANITA~PHENOMENAL WOMAN~MISSIONARY~MINISTER, WORKING FOR GOD IN AFRICA........
"The summer of 2006 I traveled across Africa reaching Ghana, Rwanda and Zambia. My eyes were opened to the extreme poverty, hunger, sickness, devastation and hopelessness of a nation. At the same time I witnessed the endless beauty of a continent called Africa, her land, her oceans, her plant and wildlife, and most importantly the beauty of her people. Their smiles shined brighter than the sun through all their despair and gave hope to my heart that there must be some way I can help to make a difference in their lives." While I was in Rwanda I traveled high into the mountains with a mission’s organization. We reached villages where few outsiders had ever been. While I was there I had met a boy that changed my life forever. I don’t know his name and will probably not have another chance to find out. But I will never forget him and his story for the rest of my life... TO READ MORE GO TO HER SITE!

About Immaculée~
Immaculée Ilibagiza is a living example of faith put into action. Immaculée's life was transformed dramatically during the 1994 Rwandan genocide where she and seven other women spent 91 days huddled silently together in the cramped bathroom of a local pastor's house. Immaculée entered the bathroom a vibrant, 115-pound university student with a loving family - she emerged weighing just 65 pounds to find her entire family had been brutally murdered (with the exception of one brother who had been studying out of the country).
