Step Into Africa - Children's Event

Both Kristen and I volunteered last Sunday to help with the children's version of the Step Into Africa Exhibit that our is set up at our church via WorldVision. It was a really neat experience as each of the kids got to "see" what a day in the life of a child in Africa is like. They saw what a house might look like and how big it was. They had to grind corn to try to make meal. They had to try to carry water over a distance to emulate what African children have to do to have clean water everyday. It was really well done. I hope that not only Jaden and Jacob came away with at least a partial change in perspective ( which has been showing up in prayers already :) ), but that the many other children that came through (we had about 150 kids I think) also gained valuable insights as well.
