Guinea

My wife and I were part of a team from our church that went to Conakry, Guinea. West Africa.  The purpose of our trip was to work in an orphanage.  My wife sorted clothes, painted and cared for children.  In a country that is poor it is easy to see how the poor and marginalized are exploited by those that have money and power.
While we were there one of the local workers was working alongside one of our team who was mixing concrete to repair part of the play area.  He told the team member that they had never seen a white man working like he was, it was always the natives that worked while the white man supervised.  What kind of a testimony is that to the people of Guinea?
Much has been given to us so much is expected of us.  Why do we have a spirit of entitlement?
I am going to write a few more short blogs on our experiences in Guinea over the next few days.
