This is quite possibly one of the most inspirational and heartwarming books I've begun in a while. Three Cups of Tea challenges all of us to do more and be more. The story, if you're not familiar, involves Greg Mortenson's failed attempt to climb Kilimanjaro. He is helped by the people of the region and in turn promises to come back and build a school.
I'm inspired by it, and so is my entire church. You see, we have a large congregation of Sudanese immigrants. Many of them are Lost Boys... one in particular, Moses, wants to give back to his village. And so, the project began... one school at a time.
This is part of what we're called to do. To give to those who have little. To build grain mills so that the girls can have time from the back breaking work of preparing food to go to school. To provide wells for water... and, of course, to pray without ceasing for those building now and those who will be learning later.
If you're inclined to join your prayers with mine... please do so!
