We know about the chaos in Iraq. We know about the turmoil in Israel. Why don't we know about the Sudanese refugees in Uganda? My friend Ben Crowder alerted me to this documentary. It is powerful. It is real. Three young men went to have an adventure. They came back as instruments of God, inspired hands to move the wheel of mercy, to fight the juggernaut of war, to save a dying nation. 55 minutes long and well worth it.

My question is this: we believe in life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness--for who? Do the Sudanese count? This truth we hold to be self evident, that all men are created equal in the eyes of God, no matter the country, color, or class. Uganda may have very little impact on American Economics, and therefore not seen by those in charge as a worthy investment of foreign aid dollars--I don't know. What I do know, is that they are seen as worthy of God's notice. We may pray for peace to come. We may pray for the children to have a better life. We may pray and pray and pray. Sometimes, when you pray for God to move a mountain, He gives you a shovel and says, "Start digging."
