"Pray with Africa"

“The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel” (which means “God with us”).  Matthew 1:23

“For my eyes have seen your salvation, which you have prepared in the sight of all nations”..Luke 2:30-31

That simple word “with” is what I have come to appreciate this Christmas season and particularly as we plan for Kenya.

It started this last week while learning about an organization, “Pray with Africa”, that believes that there is a great deal of difference in “praying for” and “praying with”.   Their idea is crystallized in the word Immanuel and in the witness of Simeon and Anna.  Their joy was seeing the Messiah and being with Him.

So in this season, may God be with us all in the Joy of this season.
