My Friends in South Africa

I like to kind of toot my own horn and tell people that I know people in South Africa. But it's even more than just the pride of it, it's that these are some of th emost incredible people in the world: Dave, Jill, Hannah, and Luke Boman. Dave and Jill are some of the most genuine, Godly Christians that I've ever known.

So, they committed to being in Africa for a year and their visa is up in September or so. But these guys do some serious ministry with AIDS patients and with kids and adults in the slums (locations). They open their house to children who barely have homes and they take the kids to the beach to actually have fun once in a while.

This isn't about being cool in the Christian world. A lot of these people are dying--most people would mark them as useless to spend energy on. These are the least of these (Matthew 25:40, 45). This is what true Christianity is all about.
