A Simple Phone Call Can Mean So Much
May 25, 2010
Our seventh graders were asked to reflect on their phone call to the missioners in Kenya; some of their answers were amazing:
“From the conference call, I learned that it should be a global effort to stop the spread of HIV/Aids. The volunteer nurses inspired me to do my part in learning about the avenues to prevent and treat the disease. C.L.
“The conference call had
an imprint on my life.” The two nurses engaged in the CMMB program
explained how many people are effected with HIV/Aids. In addition, they
spoke of the Mother to Mother program which is an educational program of
infected mothers helping and instructing incoming infected mothers on
preventing transmission to their child.” K.L.
“Speaking to the nurses, Irene
and Amanda, opened my eyes to the vast world around me. As Amanda and
Irene responded to our questions, I realized that I could make a positive
difference in the world too! I hope to follow in their footsteps
and live out Jesus’ message.” J.O.
