Read.Read. READ-A-THON: Read With Purpose, Read For A Cause.

Reading with a cause in mind since my first read-a-thon two years ago, I know that I will never be able to read for just myself. I love reading, but I am a quitter if there is no purpose or point. When the point is raising money for people who need it I don't quit. How could I? I go until I can't go anymore. I encourage you to find your cause, or to donate to one of the ones that others are talking about. Pick yours, really it will make this read-a-thon something completely beyond you, more than reading you are giving.

I would like to encourage all of you Read.Read.READ-A-THONers to consider reading for a cause. You have only 2 days left to think about what you would like to support.

I have chosen a group called Rabuna Fi, which means "God is here".

It is a program reaching the women of Sudan, not only with the Word of God but also to teach them to make crafts in order to earn family income, literacy training, tailoring school and others. I have decided that for each page I read I am going to donate $.10 to this organization. Rabuna Fi is an outreach of Far Reaching Ministries Aviation.

My heart has been stolen by this Rabuna Fi ministry, by these women and that they are not just reaching them with the gospel, but they are training them in life skills- things that they need so desperately. I have been bonded to these women through prayer and I hope you will be as well. Please watch the following videos, you won't be the same.

Here is the miracle taking place before your very eyes.

I love what these women are doing, they are in a country so racked with war and hunger- and yet (as you saw in the video) they pray for us while they make the crafts. I covet these prayers, I covet these prayers for our nation and for our families.

But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us. We are hard-pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed... 2 Corinthians 4:7-9
