Wheaties and Weedies

Feb 25 2009

I’ve been telling people about the rescue of Joseph Kony’s child soldiers, and I’ve been met with both support and criticism. This criticism was both constructive and well thought out, and it has made me think more deeply about my convictions. What will be done, ultimately, and will it actually do more harm than good? (Confused? Perhaps if you watch the film this will make a little more sense)

I’ve come the conclusion (not really on my own, but because I read Matthew 13:24-30) that we may not be able to simply defeat Kony, but we can rescue the children.

We may not be able to bring an end to the evil, but we can sure as hell bring heaven into the hells of those suffering by the hands of the evil.

    I just got done going through the whole website, and I guess I’m still a little confused on what their strategy is other than having people give $3 a week to Invisible Children. What did I miss?

    That money is used to build schools, start microeconomic programs, and such, and the point of the Rescue is to pressure governments into taking action to save the children from Joseph Kony.
