Kathyrn Bell writes, "When your heart is troubled by an injustice in the world, engage the pain, linger there, lean into it, and allow suffering to enter your soul. Don't quickly dismiss it and move on. Follow that trail: read more about it, go on the internet, cut out articles, do some research, expose yourself to the truth, live in angst, allow yourself to become disturbed. God may be speaking to you. Don't short-cut the process."
It struck me yesterday that through all of this promoting of the AIDS Village, we're actually inviting people into an experience of heartbreak and suffering. What will compel 3,200 people to enter into the painful story that the World Vision AIDS Village will tell? I was tempted to begin answering that question in another paragraph, but I think it's best answered by you instead...what compels you to come through the World Vision AIDS Village?
