Good luck to Rick Warren on this. I'm somewhat skeptical of the whole Rick Warren thing but this on the surface impresses me.

[Revelation 911]

I'm somewhat skeptical of the whole Rick Warren

dont take this sarcastically, but who else is putting feet to their talk ?

I dont see anyone else over there and certainly the rwandans arent buying his book

I'm not sure I agree with the following statement:

Belief in Christ by itself offers insufficient protection against evil.

If God be for us who can be against us? Yet I do agree with the basic premise:

I do not believe that Rick Warren has a bad bone in his body. But I do believe that his remarkable enthusiasm is fueled by considerable naïveté.

Americans, especially American Christians, have a habit of sticking our noses into places where we shouldn't. If Pastor Warren feels lead to go to Rwanda then by all means he should go. However I hope he's basing his decision on more than just "feelings" and understands this is HIS calling but it doesn't sound like it.

It's one thing to give of YOUR time and money to a cause YOU feel strongly about. It's quite another to be asking other Christians to give of THEIR time and money to a cause God may not have placed upon their hearts. How long will it be until we see the Rick Warren's Rwanda Telethon?

"I am not sure that he is fully prepared for the enormous task that he has set himself."

Every pioneer missionary has heard this statement by Wolfe. Carey in India, Judson in Burma, Stamm in Africa, Mueller in England. It is the "reasonable" statement forged by the enemy to frustrate and discourage any one called by God to an important task. Now I guess we can stand back and wait until it is safe to support the work with prayer and whatever we have been given to help or we can exercise radical faith and see that God has opened His vineyard for the harvest and take our place as laborers called at any time of the day to sacrifice whatever He has demanded. It seems the safest course is to risk faith for the increase than to bury it until it is safe.

This is wonderful. Christians doing the heavy lifting that libs won't do.

Mr. Warren not only accepted but asked his network of believers to come to Rwanda in small groups to plant churches, care for the sick, educate the citizenry and assist the poor.

If Africa is going to be changed, this is how it will be done.

ON this page there is a message from an African Evangelist pleading with people to counteract Purpose Driven because it is coming to Africa, just the next heresy right behind the Prosperity gospel. It's called "Race to Africa" and there are a lot of other good audio files and reports linked to there as well.
