You Tube Friday: Nobel Prize-Winning Lutheran

Did you know that a Liberian Lutheran woman named Leymah Gbowee has recently won the Nobel Peace Prize?  She has led a movement of women committed to ending violence and bringing about peace in Liberia, a West African nation which has been torn by civil war over the last few decades.  Her group was instrumental in the free and fair election of Africa's first female president, President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf (who also won the Nobel Peace Prize).  Hear part of Gbowee's story here.  See what God's ordinary people can do with faith and love?
