More on the camera

Here is a follow up to the request for a camera. All I can say is "how many cameras do you need?"

"Thank you for considering to ask the church whether you can buy us a camera. I need to exactly explain what a camera is for.

We need to take pictures of the activities of the church. We have a program for HIV positive people from the community around the church (since we serve a slum known as Misiri). These people are not necessarily our church members although some have joined us. We are starting a feeding program for their kids in our church. The proposed program is known as Christlike Children Center. We would then take pictures of these activities to keep the community and Baptist churches informed. I have been using a simple, red slim Kodak camera that I loved but for now it is not working and it cannot be repaired. In fact repairing it would be more expensive."

Sheesh. A camera is the least I can do.

And praise God for these brothers and sisters in Christ--and the work they do for the Kingdom.
