Laura Hawthorne is a friend and recording artist that also does mission work.  This summer she worked with Heart for Africa, a faith-based, not-for-profit organization. They provide shelter, food, water, healthcare and education to the orphans and vulnerable children of Swaziland and Kenya.

Well, she sent me a video of her singing with these beautiful children somewhere in the middle of Swaziland, Africa.

It’s daytime, and the children are gathered in a large circle, barefoot on the dirt.  This is their church.

I’m especially touched as they are singing a song that I wrote called Jesus in My Heart.

Thanks to Laura Hawthorne and Heart for Africa for all they do.
