Angelena by TREVOR IRWIN
/>I am a missionary born in Northern Ireland and living in London for the past 23 years. This photograph of Angelena was taken while at a Church service in, Nigeria. This was the first time i met her. She was sitting at the back of the church against the wall on a seat all alone. I used full zoom and took over 50 photographs of her. This is the only one that came out good. this was not a planned pose and I caught her like this without her knowing. she was quite a distance from me. I was sitting on the platform waiting to be called to speak. This young Girl inspired me so much. Her young life is an inspiration to me of how faith and hope can carry us through difficult times. Angelina is 12 years old . She is one of the children we have been caring for for the past three years. When we found her three years ago she was close to death and without Parents. Three years later she is loved and attends school. We can and do make a difference to children in extreme poverty and sick. All it takes is Love and a heart of compassion to sow a little time and money into a child’s life and you will see the transformation. Angelina was dying from malaria when we first saw her. Now she lives a full life. She says she wants to be a doctor and help others who are sick. God bless her and all who helped us in helping her. 100% of all proceeds from sales of my art ,donated art, and donations made via Philadelphia Mission Charity website, goes to help extreme poor in Isolated and Rural villages in Africa.

My name is Grace. by TREVOR IRWIN
A Parents Prayer for their sick child. / (2 Samuel 12:22) David answered: While he was still alive, I went without food and cried because there was still hope. I said to myself, “Who knows? Maybe the LORD will have pity on me and let the child live.” / I am an Irish born Missionary living in London I spend much time living with the Kambari tribe, I get to know first hand the challenges they face each day just to survive. I also have the privilege of capturing not only hunger, sickness and often death, but the more happy occasions. This is Grace, and when I first met Grace in April 2007, she was suffering from Chronic Malnutrition, adn intestinal worm infection. This was taken in December 2007, and the difference in 2009 is wonderful. Thank you to all who prayed and donated towards saving Grace. Please do Pray for these precious suffering people in extreme poverty and for us as we press on in our mission to help them. I believe in the power of Prayer and a mighty God.

If For Honesty by James Birkbeck
Gave myself a haircut today (I always cut my own hair). Decided to record the results for posterity. Can’t keep up this hairstyle for much longer… the hair is vanishing. Haha. Oh. And this: / Condemnation / Tried / Here on the stand / With the book in my hand / And truth on my side Accusations / Lies / Hand me my sentence / I’ll show no repentance / I’ll suffer with pride If for honesty / You want apologies / I don’t sympathize / If for kindness / You substitute blindness / Please open your eyes Condemnation / Why / Because my duty / Was always to beauty / And that was my crime Feel elation / High / To know I can trust this / Fix of injustice / Time after time If you see purity / As immaturity / Well it’s no surprise / If for kindness / You substitute blindness / Please open your eyes / Depeche Mode, Condemnation
