After visiting South Africa, Kendra from our partner church, posted a great blog re the amazing work that Sonshine Kids Africa is doing labelling Allison and Liz as real heroes, and who would disagree? Check it out at <http://insidenorthpoint.org/kids/2010/03/03/real-life-heroes/> So I thought I would share a little video I made of our heroes, not the best but I don’t think it is bad for a first try! You see, Jesus had to give up His life for us, and there are Christians in the world today who are losing their lives for their faith, but this is not so for us as we live in relative peace. None the less, we still battle for the souls of the many people who live in the same house as us, next door, in our neighborhood or in our city. A real life and death battle. So when these heroes get down on their knees and plead for the kids that they will meet again on Sunday, when they are that familiar face that is reassuring kids of Gods great love and grace, when they show up with a friendly smile for the person who comes for the first time or if they give of their time to press some buttons or move some furniture so that those who visit will feel comfortable to come back; they are fighting a real life and death battle. These are people who have a story to tell of how they were broken and dying, but who have experienced Jesus on a personal level and have found hope and restoration for the most impossible situations plaguing their souls. These are the soldiers of God, ambassadors of the God of the impossible, and these are just a few of the 150 odd that make Southpoint irresitible.
