Donations from important people in my life....awesome. Prayers from trusted friends.....absolutely coveted. A dollar from a small child's "money sock"....priceless.
Ethan, a child in my Junior Kindergarten class, and his twin sister, Eliza heard about my trip and felt such compassion for the children in Africa that they each donated some of their hard earned savings toward the cause. The best part of it all is that, when Ethan handed me his money, he said "This is for the childwen in Afwica who don't know about God and Jesus". I love my job.
I am amazed at their 4 year old hearts that already hold such compassion and love for others. Praise the Lord.

I was so excited to hear from Karen K. that you are going to Africa! I guess today is the BIG day. I was looking at the PDS website just now and found your blog - so I wanted you to know that I will be praying for you for the next 30 days. I can't wait to hear what God is going to do in you and through you in Africa. I'll be praying Isaiah 41:10 for you. In His strong name, Heather
