Jody was the leader of the trip i took to africa.

GIVING is FUN.
what an awesome cause!
can you imagine half a million people in tents????
can you imagine losing your child because of smoke from the fire you cook their food on?
these stoves save lives.
they provide income, jobs and diginity for women in port au prince.
they give TIME to women in haiti.
they make an awesome christmas gift too…. donate in someone's honor.

Laura Phelps - “I see people differently because of Pam”…
WOW
can I just say…
this morning at mass that was my THANKS to GOD
because as I grow closer and closer to Him, I have noticed that my SIGHT is better
I SEE PEOPLE
the people working at McDonalds
the man who bagged my groceries at Trader Joes
the lady that always sits alone in the back pew of daily mass
I have an overwhelming sense of “we are all brothers and sisters”
and yes
GIVING IS FUN
LOVING IS FUN
A RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD IS FUN
Pam and her family are in my prayers
it is beautiful to witness God working through people we know and love
just so awesome 🙂

happygirl - I’d like to do this project. Do you have any problem with me reposting this? I think this may be my “after Thanksgiving” project. Thanks.
Lea Carter - In 2010 my sister, her husband and my 5 nephews moved from SC to Botswana, sent by their church as missionaries. Your words…
“it is so cool to have gotten to watch how God worked all of this out for them…
step by step.
they were obedient.
literally watching God provide their basic needs in his perfect timing.
i have never witnessed anything like it.”
…are exactly how I described their move. It is amazing to watch God work in their lives. His provision is amazing (so many stories I could share about this!).
This morning they boarded a plane for the 16 hour flight to the USA. I am so looking forward to seeing them! I can’t wait to spend some time with them. Because it is so short, it will be so special.
Praying for your friend and her family as they begin this journey! Go God!
Kimberly - What an amazing adventure awaits her. God is doing amazing things in Africa. I went to Namibia in September and I know someday I will return. I will keep her in my prayers.
TinaM. - Wow!
Elisabeth F - This would be a perfect Christmas gift for my MIL who loves to cook, but needs no gifts! Is there a quick link you can add to send us to these ladies site?
tiffany gardner - AWESOME
