An African Extreme Makeover??

I wrote this post a few weeks ago and I think now is the time to share it since Ruth’s need for a home and help is crucial.

Last month I sent in an application DVD for ABC’s EXTREME MAKEOVER: AFRICA ADDITION!! For 2 years now I felt like the Lord prompted me with the idea of sending in a video of our good friend, Ruth Mugas orphanage and ministry, Bethesda International. Ruth is the founder of Bethesda and cares for hundreds of orphans and abandoned children. (Check out my previous posts and help one of her kids with school fees!) I was a big fan of ABC’s extreme makeover because I love to see people’s lives changed! People who are selfless and generous or those who have traveled a very hard road are given a “huge break”, hope for a better future, and of course a saaweeet new house!! I’m in tears during almost every show and that night I crawl in bed and think about how much our friend Ruth is so deserving of an amazing blessing like this!!

So, ABC, has been going now for what 2 years? They have updated the show a little here and there to keep fans watching. I think there will have to be some major changes in the seasons to come to keep their viewers intrigued, especially since next week is their final show, completing their 50 state tour. So,…I have an idea!

ABC goes global!! Starting with Ruth Muga & Bethesda International in Jinja, Uganda!!! Couldn't you just see it now?

ABC EXTREME MAKEOVER: ORPHANAGES AROUND THE WORLD!!!

I already have a plan…ABC starts in AFRICA and visits every African country. Then they move on to China, South America, India, and the list goes on. With 15 million AIDS orphans in the world, and 12 million of them in Sub-Saharan Africa, it seems like an ABC Extreme Makeover: Orphanage style is timely. Our DVD is in Los Angeles right now, either sitting on a shelf or in someone’s hands…waiting to decide if they should fly with a crazy idea like AFRICA!

WOULD YOU HELP TO MOTIVATE ABC WITH ME???

Would you take the time to write a short note, seriously, nothing long, just to the point? (I just got word from a friend that Denise makes most of the major decisions for ABC so... you can address them to her!)
Dear Denise Cramsey,
I would love to see ABC choose Ruth Muga & Bethesda International from Jinja, Uganda for a makeover and embrace the idea of doing an Africa Orphanage edition. With 15 million orphans world wide, and 12 million orphans in Sub-Saharan Africa, an orphanage edition would be timely.
Sincerely,

That’s it! It would take just a few minutes and the cost of a stamp and who knows…maybe this crazy idea will fly!! Thanks you guys!! Please consider sharing this with your friends & family. I’d love to flood ABC with letters!!
