New old U2 song about Bono in Ethiopia during the famine

Monday March 3, 2008

Categories: Faith


Late last year U2 quietly (for them) released a previously unfinished song from their Joshua Tree about the trip Bono and Ali took to Ethiopia during the famine in the mid-1980s. Stunning.

Very interesting. I love the poetic power of his images. Strikes a chord buried deep down in our African experience.

David,
Have been praying about sponsoring a child since your Feb 18th post "What can we do?". Today my family sponsored a boy in Uganda. Your voice and the conviction of the Spirit are working in people's lives to make a difference in Jesus' name. Be encouraged and keep on keeping on. I know we're not saving the world, but I hope that we might be joining in God's work to save Nicholas in Uganda, physically through the provision of some of his needs, and spiritually through enabling Compassion to continue to teach the children about Jesus. It is not all that we can do, but it is a start...let's all find a place to start.
