The Democratic Republic of Congo is a nation of proud and honorable people. I think what saddens my heart the most is the seemingly never ending warfare that plagues this great country and it's people. The residual effects have caused hundreds of thousands of people to flee, in turn subjecting them to even greater violence and many times death.
Much of the United States is unaware of the depth and breadth of this conflict. I hope this video will open your eyes to some of the despair that haunts the people of the Democratic Republic of Congo. Maybe the most tragic stat of them all is the 5 million orphans facing this destiny alone.
Be informed. The journey continues.

Justin and Julie...your amazing determination and perseverance for your new child as well as bringing awareness to this starving nation continues to inspire me. Brad and I love you so much and most importantly can't wait to meet little Malachi...in addition we are adding all of the Democratic REpublic of Congo to our prayer list. Thank you for continuing the push for awareness in this crippled nation. You are very special people. :)
