The book of Ben Sirach (Ecclesiasticus) says: "A faithful friend is a sturdy shelter: he that has found one has found a treasure. There is nothing so precious as a faithful friend, and no scales can measure his excellence" (Sirach 6:14-15). I thank God for this couple. They are that "elixir of Life" (Sirach 6:16) that the book of Sirach talks about. The idea of this blog came from them in an effort to help me have something sustenable for the underprivileged children in the Diocese of Kumbo, Cameroon. Their donation to this project has been enormous and only God will reward them. You see how they are missionaries by being here in America and touching the lives of so many children out there, where they have never been. Hopefully, they will be there.
Mary Ann is a pro-life doctor. This is a couragious thing to stand for. In fact, she is a proof that the Christian life is counter-cultural. You only need to know how many people are praying for her and how the power of God is working in her and her husband. She receives full support from the husband and the husband receives full support from her. This is an example of a concrete witness to the Christian life. My prayer for them is that they may have the courage, and the wisdom to continue bearing witness to Christ in the manner in which they have begun.
We can change the world by a life of witness. Please, join this link so that together, we can bear witness to Christ and support the underprivileged.
