“There comes a moment in every battle when the one under attack realizes that failure to take action will result in death. At that moment, (s)he is propelled into action and all passivity or any sense of detachment from the battle immediately dissipates. Our nation now faces such a desperate hour - an epic clash of kingdoms - and God is calling for the church to engage in battle.” Dr. George Otis

Jesus made the startling statement to His disciples in Matthew 11:12: “The kingdom of God suffers violence, and the violent take it by force. A share in the heavenly kingdom is sought with most ardent zeal and intense exertion!”

The facts are that believers around the world are pursuing the kingdom of God with such ardent zeal resulting in incredible, supernatural evidences of transformation. Transformation is the bursting forth of life in the midst of previously dead or dying settings.

God’s presence comes not necessarily through programs but through His Presence. Pursuing Him is the passion of the Christian heart - and when God’s presence is evident all of life takes on new meaning.

Millions of children in the world do not have access to a good education, but a new non-profit organization is working to change that. Their vision is One Laptop Per Child, a specially designed computer for children in developing nations that promotes learning and collaboration. Their XO laptop is small, portable, rugged, and has a custom-designed system to make it easy to use and understand. And most importantly - these laptops can be purchased and delivered to a child for only $200.

Several countries around the globe have signed up to participate in the project, including Peru, Rwanda, Uruguay, and Libya. Individuals or businesses can also donate laptops.

For the price and small size, it’s an impressive system. Every aspect of the computer has been designed for its end environment. It offers tools for reading, chatting, drawing, math, and music creation, as well as connecting wirelessly to other OLPC’s and to the internet. For areas where electricity is not available, it can be powered by car batteries, solar energy, even by foot pedal or crank. No matter which is used, these little green machines may have just enough power to change lives.
