Update from the field...

I was talking with my sister today. She's quarantined in her house right now. Down with German Measles. I was joking with her and said she might take some of her time to share some of her deepest thoughts and feelings on her blog. Joking because we Macks are pretty much what you see is what you get. Anyway I am glad to see she took my joke seriously and jotted down an update. She entitled the post, "My Frustration." I think it helps give a picture of her ministry and what is happening in Africa:"My frustration is this.I have been in many meetings over the last couple of weeks- talking with people about the health care crisis our country is facing. Just in the townships near us we have thousands of children dying from AIDs monthly. Children, who if they had access to the right drugs, would be alive right now. Every week we go to the township with the hope of helping to identify children who are HIV positive and are falling through the cracks. The problem is when we find them and send them to the government clinic to get put on ARV's they often are sent home without help. The drugs are there available to people but they can't get on them.My frustration is this: frankly, many just don't care that children are dying. And the people who seem to not care that they are dying are the ones who can do something about it. Nobody seems to want to acknowledge the fact that there is a problem much less do anything about fixing it."Please pray. This is the kind of stuff that makes Satan happy and grieves God.
