Inspiration

Wow! Talk about an inspiration. I discovered a young woman today that has blown me away. She's doing something that most people would only dream about and never really think to actually do!! You can read her blog here and find out more, but I'll whet your interest a little.

This young lady, Katie Davis, is only 22 years old and is the mother of 14 orphaned girls in Uganda. Not only is she the mother of these girls, but she has started a whole non-profit organization called Amazima (scroll down and click on the icon on the right side of the page.) This ministry finds sponsors for the poorest of the poor children in Uganda. She's got 400 so far that are able to go to school, eat meals seven days a week, get medical care and learn about Jesus because of these sponsors. She was 19 years old when she went and started this!! She went for the first time at 16, again at 17, and then decided it was God's calling for her to do this. Amazing!

She not only has 14 daughters now, but she takes in needy and hurting mothers and children when they need it. She just does it all for Jesus. She truly has His heart. She's someone who needs our prayers and maybe even a donation!! I know I'll be keeping up with her now that I've found this. Make sure you click on her blog above and also on the Amazima link. They are two different things. The Amazima link tells more about her story and how she got there.
