In the November issue of Charisma magazine there is a great article about Irene Gleeson. What a remarkable woman this is. She and her husband left their very comfortable life in Australia to rescue and bless Daddy's kids in the worn-torn country of Uganda.
For ten years this amazing couple has been doing the work of the Kingdom. Thank you for your lives and spending them on behalf of those who otherwise would have had no voice!! What a treasure you are to the body of Christ!
Please grab a Charisma magazine and check out this article. I wish you could just read it online, but it is not on their website yet...not sure if it will be. www.charismamag.com

There are so many ways every person can do something to help.
Be creative. Ask Holy Spirit. Release it into the World.
Act justly. Love mercy. Walk humbly.
In this life we cannot do great things. We can only do small things with great love. - Mother Teresa.
