Press Release
Gladstone, MB—May 23, 2007—The brother and sister team of Kelvin and Charlene Bueckert draw attention to the crisis facing Africa with the release of Beauty in a Scorched Land.
Beauty in a Scorched Land is a unique mix of dramatic and sometimes humorous stories written by Kelvin, combined with the pictures and true experiences of Charlene. The book also features ways that anyone can make a difference, as well as detailed facts about the situation in Africa.
The Bueckerts wrote Beauty in a Scorched Land to help people understand that the crisis in Africa is real, and that it should matter to everyone with a conscience. The situation is especially real to Charlene as she is a nurse who spent part of 2006 working in Zambia with MATE/FCC. Beauty in a Scorched Land is currently available for free download, or for purchase at www.kelvinbueckert.com, with 100% of the profits going to support the African projects of MATE/FCC. www.matefcc.org
“Zambia was a highly emotional experience; I hope I will never be the same. That I will continue to be moved, to cry every day, and to live life differently-with a purpose, God‘s purpose. “Charlene said in a statement. “The next time I feel thirsty I will remember that there are millions of people literally dying for a cup of clean water.”
“We look back at the holocaust and wonder how something that terrible could happen,” said Kelvin. “Everyday in Africa, approximately 8,500 people die from AIDS alone. I think that could be defined as a holocaust for our generation. The question is...What will we do about it?”
T-Shirt
A brief explanation of the pictures...Isaiah 58:10 "and if you spend yourselves in behalf of the hungry and satisfy the needs of the oppressed then your light will rise in the darkness, and your night will be come like the noonday.
Note the child picture, the ambulance picture, the sunrise picture at the top.
Isaiah 58:11 "The Lord will guide you always; he will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land and will strengthen your frame. You will be like a well watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail."
Note the flower and water pictures and of course, the cross is at the center of it all.
We designed this shirt so it would be easy for you to spread the word about Africa, and at the same time to raise money for MATE/FCC. All creator royalties from this shirt will be donated to the African projects of MATE/FCC...so why don't you check it out?
