Traci called me this morning to tell me about a piece she read in today’s paper. It was about the appearance of Carl Wilkins at a couple venues in town. He was doing missionary work in Rwanda, building schools and clinics in this poorest of poor nations in Africa. She traced down a contact and he agreed to call in our show tomorrow. (4/18/08). This is a truly remarkable story of doing God’s work at a time and in a place where the devil was doing his as well.
If you’ve seen the movie Hotel Rwanda you have a slight sense of what happened in that far away place that was abandoned by the world. Mr Wilkins stayed when everyone else left. Read about his story HERE. It is a story of desperate poverty, political upheaval with resultant slaughter of a LOT of people. We look forward to what Mr Wilkins has to say, and what lessons can be learned from his experience. Good catch Traci, this will be a powerful show.
UPDATE!! And it WAS. HERE’S the link

I got to hear most of this show. The last half hour, when your guest was on, was great talk radio! I could hear the emotion in his voice. What he has done and what he has witnessed has obviously touched him deeply.
I believe that he deserves a whole hour on your show. Maybe he would be a good occasional reoccurring guest?
Thank you for having Carl Wilkins on your show!
KUDOs to all of you!

We got what he was available to give and we are in touch with him to do just that. We would LOVE to have Mr Wilkins be our African affairs corespondent.
