Dear facebook friends,

I believe our Facebook community represents a revolution of love and connection around the world. In a few seconds you and I will link up with lifelong friends and family and we will encourage and pray for each other. Our community symbolizes the power to change the world through communication.

I want to introduce to you a friend of mine who has a dream to touch the poor of Africa by using her passion for healthcare. Brooke Roberts RN is working her way toward a short term mission with Open Arms International to Eldoret, Kenya to serve the poorest of the poor on this tiny globe. The mission will take place July 10-24, 2010.

Remote Kenya is no vacation…this is a medical mission to save women and children. Here are 3 ways you can help touch lives in Africa.

1-Pray for Brooke

2-Purchase one of Brooke’s original watercolors from the “Africa Collection”. These beautiful works of art are based on photos of African women and children which Brooke photographed on a previous mission. Check out my blog at glenmaiden.com to see her work. You can post a comment on the blog if you wish to purchase one of Brooke’s pieces from the collection.

3-Donate online at www.openarmsinternational.com to make a tax deductable gift. Please indicate in the memo that your gift will go for Brooke Roberts.

If each of my Facebook friends gives a gift of 5 dollars, we can send Brooke to touch the poor of Africa with grace and love. 5 small bucks from a large caring community can do so much.

You may wish to do more…that is cool too. Soon I will post the results of how far Brooke has progressed. Thanks friends…let the revolution begin! And as always…let me know how I can pray for you.
