I sense you are African because this is your home, the home where your heart is and lives. Africa is not for the 'dark' people but for all who call this land their home. In your journey, this is a great place to begin. As long as you feel at home here, you are African. I affirm you. Your past heritage speaks so, and your commitment to the future of the people of this land to live in peace speaks louder. May your journey lead you to Jesus, the Way, Truth and Life and out of this an exciting adventure as the Lord leads you into being the person he wants to be as you live out your life and dreams in our dear land, Africa. Listen to your heart, its African, let no other voice deafen what you know to be true, even the violent past does not discount you as African. Great words of courage.

We are rejoicing at the wonderful work our Lord is doing in Africa through Amahoro Africa and his faithful servants. We are committed to pray for you as you gather again in Burundi and South Africa. We also invite you to join us as we also gather to pray for Africa and for Burundi on August 21th, a day that the Lord has impressed upon us (Amahoro International) to gather intercessors through out the world to intercede for our continent. This year the International day of Prayer for Africa (IDOPA) will focus mainly on Soudan, Zimbabwe and Burundi and the underlying theme is Peace; but the focus is Repentance, Reconciliation and Reconstruction without these steps we believe that peace remains a dream. We are so thrilled that Amahoro Africa will be in Burundi this Summer and we know that God will open doors and the seeds of blessings you are bringing will bear fruit in due season. God bless you and please know that we are praying for you. Mukarabe for Amahoro International, California Congratulations!!!!

What an amazing piece of literature - your analysis of yourself as an English(-speaking) Euro-African shows insight, courage and a willingess to be vulnerable, to learn and to grow. It is also edifying and informative - and yes, inspiring. Much of what you say about "your" group of South-Africans, is also applicable to the rest of the Euro-Africans - e.g. the rest of "us" - Thank you! I - and I believe many of us - gratefully and gladly learn from your "penetrating understanding of a complex matter" and with you are "infused ... with vitality to strengthen (my)our resolve to be committed to peace, humility and justice and the longing to "truly follow in the humble and peaceful way of our teacher Jesus." [Since English is ot my first language I wanted to use a 'spell-checker' but, in spite of the Google insturctions, did not know how to do it! ;-) ] Annemie Curtis!

Seven great points. And, as always, you have a clear and concise way of communicating what often seems so much more complicated. Fair trade practices are extremely important, and they don't even have to cost the end consumer any more. In fact, they can often cost less by eliminating some of the middle people. And from an economic standpoint there's probably nothing that would make a bigger difference for Africa than the elimination of farm subsidies in the US. That is an unpopular position for politicians from farm states to take (one that our two current candidates for president could not afford to do politically). Perhaps with a renewed focus on Africa following the November election (which I think we could have if my favorite candidate wins), we'll have a better shot at having this conversation.

In line with your last point, "The Foundation for Church Led Restitution", mainly based in Cape Town, but affecting other places around South Africa is doing a lot in terms of reconciliation and restitution in this country. We are in the former "Transkei" seeking to help some of those "forgotten" people. Yes, thanks for the thoughts, Brian, as always provokative and helpful.

It is breathtaking (or breath-giving) when I consider what God wants to do through ordinary people. After reading Annemie Bosch's comments I am wondering what unresolved, unforgiving racial tensions are under the surface in this country. In know the situation is different. But even 50 years into the civil rights movement in America there is still much racism! With the probability (and hope!... Maybe this is healing from the "inside out.") of a black president being elected in November I think the racism lurking in the shadows, "papered over differences", will surface. My hope is that when it does come out of the shadows into the light there will be ordinary people of courage who will challenge it. "God of grace and God of glory grant us courage for the living of these days... for the living of these days."
