My Bolivian Prayer

I BELIEVE IN BOLIVIA. I BELIEVE IN ME.

Words are influential.

Song is influential.

Art is influential.

Love is influential.

Challenge your self to influence.

Often the questions, "What is my purpose here on earth? Who created me?" are present in our lives. The answers, I have none. I am not here to tell you what to believe, or who do believe in. All I can do is share my journey with you, and encourage you on your own journey. For me...Prayer is not religion, it is ACTION.

"What you see depends on where you stand.

How you jump will tell you where you are going to land." -Bono

My Bolivian Prayer is my cry, my reaching out of my arms to you. Look into my eyes and see the faces of the poor. See my face, a face of courage and hope. Touch my hand, feel the power of Solidarity.

I DON'T EXIST FOR MYSELF, I EXIST FOR THE WORLD.

Peace,

Jen

  1. Great video and song. Churches need to listen up!! Poverty will not be thwarted by our government, we need to step up individually to make a difference. Thanks for sharing Jen!!

  2. It has been three years since Bono approached Bill Hybel of Willow Creek Church... Since then, so many churches have "stepped up" and have made a HUGE impact in Africa and on poverty. It isn't just the churches that need to step up... We all need to step back and take a look at how we are leaving our impact on the world and it's people. We all need to step up. DO IT!!! I love this video and song :)
