World Vision Experience

This morning I got to be one of the first people to walk through the World Vision Experience hosted at Lakeside church here in Folsom. All I can say is please go see it! Wow! It was like watching an incredible movie. You will be encouraged and moved and informed about what God can do through you to help people around the world.

I want to strongly encourage everyone from our church family to stop by Lakeside this week for about 30 minutes to see something that will change your life. I'd suggest families with older children even check it out together. There is nothing graphic, but because of the subject matter it is probably not appropriate for younger children.

Turn off the TV tonight, use your lunch hour, skip your workout, whatever it takes, get there this week and be inspired!

Here are the details about the event...

"Come walk in the steps of a child living in an AIDS-affected community in Africa. This interactive exhibit features a stirring audio tour combined with captivating photography that will transport you to the heart of Africa. You'll gain a completely new perspective on the greatest humanitarian crisis of our time."

Can you survive the journey of a child? Experience the lives of one of these children:

Kombo
Avoid the big trucks and the "Big Disease" as they roll past one boy's home at a truck stop along the AIDS Highway
Mathabo
Feel the sting of abandonment as one girl faces hunger, assault and disease — alone in the highlands of Lesotho
Emmanuel
Face survival in the wild, as a young boy and his brother care for themselves after losing their mother and their home in Uganda.
Babiyre
Enter the epicenter of AIDS in Africa, where a young girl watches her father die and her mother grow weak—and wonders if she'll be next.
