I'm not sure where to begin with this blog. Except to say I feel very much empowered by the message of this organization. I would even dare to say i feel something rising in me.
Care of Creation Kenya uses an approach that is unique in such that i have not seen it elsewhere. Perhaps it is evident in other places but i have not heard it so clearly given as i have here.
You could say Care of Creation is breaking new ground. Which is so exciting to be apart of.
What makes this organization so unique you ask? I will try to tell you to the best of my ability. Otherwise for a clearer picture check out their website via the link. (right side of the page)
Care of Creation is a growing ministry one that i hope will spread to North America. It takes an approach to the environmental crisis of today in a Biblical, holistic way. At the root of the environmental crisis lay's sin. It is because of mankinds's sin that we find ourselves in this situation. As sinners we must approach God for forgiveness. For it is only through him that we can be forgiven.
I often find it so depressing to see so much environmental crisis. It is especially evident in Africa. I believe it is only hope through Christ that we can battle this environmental crisis.
Care of Creation believes in a transformation of hearts and minds before we can see a transfomation of the land. Now isen't that beautiful?
I think sometimes in North America there are so many pressure to focus on ourselves. To become financially stable, to have a car, a nice house, to have material possessions. I think sometimes we believe that our self worth depends on those things. I want to say let's not sell our selves short of something so much better than that. God has blessed us North American's so richly. I am still trying to understand that.
Well i'm at a loss of words. It is my deepest prayer that a message so clear and sound might take this world by surpise and be an awakening to the global church.

Hi Sunflower, hope you are keeping well. Hey could you make the blogs a little shorter...whatever you please. I just have to keep up with them a little better. Once i get into a routine again it shouldn't be as bad. Hey where are you finding all those quotes?
Keep strong.

Sahara.....aka Sarah...what a world you are in right now....it sounds that our world needs what you are seeing.
Sin makes us greedy at all costs to " succeed " , especially at the expense of the enviroment. We as Christians no less than anyone else need to be taught that. Asking for forgiveness should certainly urge me to be more obedient to being a steward of Creation
