Be praying for Goma, Africa

This is a video from Sara Groves. It's in response to what she saw in Africa. Here are some statistics about what's happening in Goma, Africa right now:

75% of all the world's rapes happen in Goma (and are happening)

90% of the woman (children/wives/grandmothers) have been sexually abused

Genocide has been going on there for 12 years now- we aren't hearing about it here

So far 5.5 million people have been killed (900,000 were killed in '94 in Rwanda)

A few years ago, the statistic there was 95% "professing" Christians (America is 80%)

Will we wait for "Hotel Goma" to be made before we do anything about this??

Here is a scan from something our church handed out this Sunday. It's practical things we can do to bring awareness to what's happening in Africa. Our church works with the organization Alarm.

Please be praying for the people of Goma. This is what happens when "professing Christians" let sin creep in- diluting the truth of God's Word. It's not professing that you are a Christian that matters, it's having a right and personal relationship with Jesus Christ that will save this world alone. This is the greatest loss of lives since the Holocaust and it's quickly surpassing those numbers.
