A closer look

In this month's issue of ec, writer Brandy Campbell wrote about her trip to Ethiopia and how the extreme poverty there changed her outlook forever. If you'd like read more of Brandy's thoughts about her trip, check out these entries in her blog.

The Justice Issue of ec is all about reaching out to a world full of injustice in God's name. How have you made a difference in your world? It doesn't have to involve going to another country or giving away everything you own. This world isn't fair, but you can make a difference. Buy a few groceries for a family you know doesn't have much extra money. Do some light repairs, yard work, or chores for an elderly person down the road who doesn't have the ability or money to make sure they get done. Volunteer at a soup kitchen. Save your money and buy a coat for someone who doesn't have one. God has poured out His blessings on us, and the world will only know about His love if we tell them. Sometimes, the way we tell them has less to do with what we say and more to do with what we actually do.
