The next morning we went to the MAF base and talked and prayed with the staff. Afterwards, we cleaned and prepared the home of the Danforths, a family that was arriving later that week. Then it was on to the Beautiful Gate, a Christian-run orphanage for children who have lost parents due to HIV/AIDS, or whose parents can’t afford to keep them.
I have never been so spiritually heartbroken before.” — Ashleigh
I woke up with tired eyes and a happy heart. I was falling deeply, deeply in love with Lesotho and there was nothing I could do about it. But honestly, there was nothing I wanted to do about it.
Seeing how little they have, how sick they are, and just how much they need Jesus was enough to impact me for the rest of my life. I will never forget the desperation on their faces. The spiritual darkness that covers these villages and Lesotho as a whole falls on you like a wet blanket. You can’t help but cry out to Jesus and ask Him to save them.

Since my daughter Margie Grant and her husband Ron are in Lesotho I was very interested to read this view of the country through a young persons eyes. So much need in other countries. Need for body and soul, need for Jesus.
