Art of the Month
As African kingdoms begin to rise and fall, outsiders begin to creep in with eyes on the treasures throughout the land.
In 1200 Mali Empire rises under Sunjata Keita and after 1250 expands to the Atlantic coast.
In 1324 Mansa Musa, emperor of Mali, pilgrimages to Mecca
In 1413 Portuguese voyagers landed on the African Coast.
By 1444 the first African captives were sold in Europe.
Toby Green in Fistful of Shells wrote that medieval Europeans named African regions based on “commodities on offer for exchange…Ivory Coast, Grain Coast (modern Liberia) and the Slave Coast (between modern Benin and southwestern Nigeria).” Green said it became a continent thought of in terms of what could be extracted or consumed. Europeans were not the only ones who thought of the continent in that way, because trade routes to the middle east existed before the Europeans came.

This past weekend we just experienced the ultimate in caring. Some of us celebrated Resurrection Sunday that remembers the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ. He laid down his life so that we can have a personal relationship with God. He did this because He cared. He lived a life to show us what caring looked like.
He left us with the message to go and do likewise…

Caring looks like compassion.
This week I heard a teacher say God wants us to care.
She pointed out that one of the first ways He introduces Himself to man in Exodus 34:6 is that he is Compassionate.
He is cares. We should care too.
