Inhaltsangabe

God, Why don’t You Hear Their Prayer? is a question asked by people everywhere. Many times we see injustices in this world. We watch innocent children die of diseases. We see children in cancer hospitals who have no hope of tomorrow. There are women in the jungles of Africa dying of AIDS leaving thousands of orphans. All the while we sit, watch and wonder why God allows such atrocities Founding president of Hope4Kids International, Tom Eggum, has seen every kind of poverty and disease imaginable. He has visited hospitals, with unthinkable, filthy conditions where people were sent to die. One children’s hospital in Russia had seven needles which they used over and over, unknowingly spreading AIDS & hepatitis. God, Why Don’t You Hear Their Prayer? introduces Cubans, Russians, Romanians and Chinese who have been persecuted for their faith in Jesus. Two years ago Tom visited a village outside of Tororo, Uganda. There he met a beautiful people in love with our Lord Jesus Christ. Children were dying of treatable diseases like dysentery, measles and malaria. Thousands of orphans whose parents died of AIDS roamed the dusty countryside and poverty was outrageous. Yet in the middle of all this, a sound rose toward Heaven. Along with mothers weeping for their children was a song of praise to an Almighty God. In the midst of all that was wrong, they believed in a God who can make it all right. Something about these loving, trusting people tore at Tom’s heart as never before. When they shouted, “God is good! ALL the time!” Tom couldn’t understand it. Alone in his hotel room he cried out to God. Incensed at the injustice of it all he knelt next to his bed and ranted to the Lord about how unfair it was. He ended with, “God! Why don’t you hear their prayer?” In the stillness Tom sensed God saying: “I have heard their prayer. That’s why I sent you.” Tom emerged from that hotel room with a purpose. God had called him to do more and he was willing.
