I don't know what to say after watching the Kony 2012 video. I'm awfully glad the Holy Spirit will pray on my behalf. All the sudden my problems and worries seem pretty small and unimportant. I'm outraged for many reasons. One because Kony uses the Lord's name in his army. He certainly is not operating on the Lord's behalf. Also because none of this gets in the media. I'm praising God for raising up individuals like these who champion on behalf of those who have no voice, who are invisible. Watching the video also dropped me to my knees. I have a friend who started & is working with organizations to stop human trafficking. Not enough is said about that issue either. Her Facebook page is We Stop Traffic. So all this leads to what can I in Zeeland, MI do? Donate, pray, spread the message. We are called to give the voiceless a voice, to let them be heard. The invisible among us and around the world are the least of these. We can make a difference. We can show them the true hope Jesus gives. "'For I know the plans I have for you,' declares the Lord, 'plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.'" Jeremiah 29:11 The plans God has for these invisible children does not include abduction, rape, slavery, murder, etc. God is rallying us to do something, to work to set them free from this torture and bondage. Even if you don't believe in the message or the organization behind the Kony 2012 message, do some research and find an organization you can get behind. Whatever you do, don't be complacent. "How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of those who bring good news, who proclaim peace, who bring good tidings, who proclaim salvation, who say to Zion 'Your God reigns!'" Isaiah 52:7
