Need to be challenged?


He wants ALL of us 
to be His 'hands and feet'
to love on these precious ones
to let them know they are not forgotten...

(mute the playlist at the bottom of the page)
Only a few spots left on our trip to Africa leaving June 26th....

Let Him stretch you
Let Him open your eyes
Let Him melt your heart
You WON'T regret it....
GUARANTEED!

So THANKFUL....

Day 1 of our Fundraiser Garage Sale is over,
and all I can say is....


Amazing!


I am exhausted, but oh so thankful!
I watched His hand at work all day.
Amazing conversations with SO many people who stopped by our sale today.


About ...
orphans in Africa
the ministry of Visiting Orphans
how your priorities and focus change once you have 'seen'
the fact that we HAVE so much - but what do we REALLY need?
God being in control and being at work around us


I could definitely FEEL His presence at our sale today.


The generosity of so many friends donating!
The SUN actually decided to SHINE today!
The fact that we raised ....$955!


But...
nothing could top the fact that today, 
MUCH was made of JESUS and HIS heart for the ORPHAN.


I am blessed beyond words tonight...

STITCHED together with LOVE...


What an amazing group of ladies... 
using their 'God given' abilities
to 'love on' some precious orphans!



Oh, how I LOVE it when people 
allow God to use them - to touch the lives of others.



 9 ladies
5 girls
6 sewing machines
3 serger machines
3 ironing boards

yards of fabric
rolls of ribbon

spools of thread
27+ dresses

.... PRICELESS!


Blessed to be surrounded by wonderful friends with hearts to serve!!
All of these dresses (and more still being made)
will be going with us (wrapped in LOVE)
as we return to Uganda and Kenya the end of June.
