When I get up in the morning I usually read the New York Times Online. This morning's "paper" had a story by Nicholas Kristof that broke my heart. I'm posting (or at least trying to post) a link. If you can't open it by clicking on it, please copy and paste. This story is worth the extra effort.
After reading this e-mail I sent a note to Jerry Kulah who is the District Superintendent of the United Methodist Church Monrovia, Liberia asking if our church has a ministry to girls and women who have been raped. (And if so how I can make a donation). I'll keep you posted on that.
In the mean time, please join me in prayer for our sisters in Africa. Ask God to deliver this continent of this scar of war!

Mass rape has been an element of warfare in Congo, Darfur, Bosnia, Rwanda, Liberia. But the lesson in Liberia is that even when the fighting ends, the sex crimes continue.
