Global Night Commute - April 29th



Tomorrow evening, more than 50,000 people worldwide will walk through the streets of their cities and sleeping under the stars in their city centres, all in solidarity with the night commuters of Northern Uganda.  The Global Night Commute is an international initiative of Invisible Children, the organization that birthed out of the stunning documentary by the same name.

Here in Winnipeg I have been involved in helping coordinate the event, which has faced its challenges in the process.  While we have more than 100 people signed up officially, we are expecting many more to get involved last minute.  IT'S NOT TOO LATE FOR YOU TO JOIN!  Visit the Global Night Commute site to see if there is a walk in your city (or a city near you), get together a group, sign up and do it!

Please be praying for us as we seek to give a visible statement to our cities, regions and countries about the need for immediate and decisive international intervetion.  We walk to make these children invisible no more.

2 - Dana,

Wow! That's great. Our went well, though it rained all night. I was also involved in a bit of fun involving a police chase and a possible date to testify in court. I will post soon on all that.

Peace,

5 - If that was "fun", what is "not fun"?
On second thought, don't tell me- I might not want to know! :)
