Thank you for this article - I am Johnny's mom - he and God have an amazing partnership. For example, when he prayed to God after the 12/27 election violence broke-out, he asked God, "What can I do God?" Of course his prayer was longer and more fervent. The next day my son tells me that God told him what to do - send love - love letters. Isn't that so typical of God? Love solves all problems; it's all that really matters. So we embarked on asking everyone to create a love letter, or valentine. At the time though, we didn't realize that postage would be so expensive. We were devasted to discover this, and figured all was lost. That night, Johnny prayed angrily to his PARTNER, "God, you forgot about the shipping part. Can you please take care of that!" It was kind of funny to hear this prayer. I sent an e-mail to friends to tell them where we were at and about Johnny's cute prayer to God. Within 12 hours, two friends contacted people, who contacted people, and two embassys contacted us to say they would ship them there for free, if we could just get them to Washington DC. It is fantastic watching all of this unfold. God saturates our world with His love, and just wants all of us to share in it. FYI: a minimum of 6,000 love letters that we know have made it to Kenya, I imagine there are probably many more we don't know about. Praise God.
