Raised from the dead... My Blog's Back!

Hi Friends! In an effort to stay in better communication with you, I'm reviving my blog. Perhaps you recently received an email from me about my desire to stay in touch and to provide you with better communication. If not, and you would like to receive it, please send me an email at kimberlybaker@maf.org and I'll be sure to include you. I asked for feedback and several of you responded - thanks for taking the time! While several were happy to get a quarterly newsletter and monthly email, there were some of you who responded, "Whatever you take the time to write I'll read" or "The more information and stories the better" I'm humbled that you care so deeply about what happens in the day-to-day and for those who want "all the details" this blog is for you! In my monthly newsletter I'll likely be referencing some of what I write here, so you'll likely see some duplicate information - hope that's OK. The monthly email will be a bullet point type of format where this blog will give more of the nitty gritty/nuts and bolts type of information as well as anecdotes, stories, random thoughts, ramblings, pictures, etc. Here's an example of a picture from yesterday:
The Sesotho word for curse/witchcraft is Muti... this headline refers to a couple who took the lives of 4 children in order to buy a curse from a local sangoma/witchdoctor. Hard to believe in this day and age of technology, social media, etc. that there are places where human sacrifice is practiced... but it is. Please join me in praying for Lesotho, that light would shine and dispell the darkness that holds the Basotho in chains of hopelessness and deception. Thanks once again for your feedback, your prayers and your support... tell me what you want to know and I'll do my best to write about it! Until ALL have heard, Kimberly 'Mamosa
