I understand what you are saying on the small print. The white on black background also makes it a bit harder to read. I do believe that it is much more readable in the printed version. Many thanks. gary Thank you Conway for taking the time to look through the book. I understand what you are saying on the small print. The white on black background also makes it a bit harder to read.

My heart was moved, seeing God's beloved, where they are, and felt the pull of the Holy Spirit, praying for each one... The book is hard to read, print is too small for my eyes, anyway, and I have a large screen. You're doing a good thing, but its hard to read. Bless you, Conway Corbello I really like the book.

On this trip I personally witnessed Stephanie kiss every dirty child in the distribution line. We served the girls first as this never happens in Pakistan and took great care to let them know how wonderful they are and that they are loved by God. The ministry of presence left it's wonderful mark as I watched these children walk away with their head held higher and smiles on their face from a kiss of love. Way to go Stephanie.

]]> Comment on Ethiopia: Benji by Kevin http://www.swi.org/photos/ethiopia-benji/comment-page-1/#comment-10 Kevin Mon, 22 Mar 2010 17:12:57 +0000 http://www.swi.org/photos/?p=196#comment-10 Well we have just returned from the far north of Ethiopia. Three plus day drive through some rugged but beautiful terrain. At the end of the road is a refugee camp with my son Benji living in it. He sleeps at night on a bed made from rocks and dirt covered with a thick blanket. He is with a Christian family and they share a stone hut that is roughly 10' x 10'. The place is hot and rocky and they are not allowed to work outside of the camp or leave it. They are left totally dependent upon the food rations they get via the UNHCR. He is still very thin and is having issues with the years of imprisonment and torture. His faith is strong and he continues to grow in the Lord. One of our staff Stephanie was able to get some much needed funding to him and Beni was able to spend two days with my son Hunter who led him to Christ. It was very difficult to get to him and even more difficult to leave him. Please pray that the Lord will open the doors for him and allow us to get him out of there. The camp he is in has 15,000 people in it and is filled to capacity. The Ethiopian government is in the process of opening up another camp to deal with roughly 50 people a day coming across the border from Eritrea. Things are terrible in Eritrea and the people are really suffering. Please pray for the church as the government has really put down a hard hand on anyone who names the name of Christ and shares the Gospel. We will continue our efforts to help Benji and many others who are suffering for Christ sake. They have a massive need for counselors in the camp as this issue is totally not addressed due to shortage and no staff. I watched with joy as Hunter and Benji toured the camp hand in hand and shared fellowship after so many years. Kevin SWI Well we have just returned from the far north of Ethiopia.
