Oh you guys, I am so SO excited to break up the seriousness of my past couple of posts to bring you this EXCITING, newly released video from Visiting Orphans (VO). I'm sure you remember that VO is the mission-sending organization I have traveled to Africa with the past two summers, and will be leading a trip with this December. I am so honored to be part of a team of bloggers who have the privilege of presenting this fresh look at VO today. I just watched the video myself for the first time this morning, and I cried through the whole thing. Because I know these people. I know their hearts. I know their passion is to see the world changed - to BE the change - through bringing the love of Jesus to the nations.
I know first-hand that VO is committed to seeing lives transformed by empowering and equipping Christ-followers to GO to the nations, BE focused on relationship, and LOVE like Christ by caring for children and communities world-wide. GO. BE. LOVE. It's about so much more than just a cool trip to tell your friends about. It's about being the very hands and feet of Jesus.
I know sometimes it's hard to pause in the middle of your morning blog-surfing to watch a 10-minute video (ok, 11 minutes), but y'all, please please take just a few minutes (ok, 11) to stop and watch this beautiful video. I so want to share with all of you the amazing organization that has captured my heart, and which God has used and is using to send me to the nations. Do it for me?
You can read more about VO's vision and their mission at these links.
And if your heart has been stirred? If you feel a tugging inside to GO. BE. LOVE. to the nations? Leave me a comment right here and I can hook you up! (especially if that tug should be pulling you toward Uganda this December!)

I love how the part about how they're always changing, finding out what the current needs are and how to minister to full-time missionaries "on the ground." This just seems like a great organization and the video was definitely worth watching!
