International Women's Day

Today I wanted to celebrate all the women in my life that are such inspirations.  I would also like to encourage you to leave a comment with the name of a woman who has inspired you!

I'm going to start with one of my wonderful, dear friends, Rachel Conley.  Rachel has one of the biggest hearts for people.  She is a follower of Jesus in every sense of the word!  I have seen her cry over not being able to do enough for others many times.  She gives of herself every day and for that she is a great inspiration to me!  So shout out to you Rachel!  Woot, Woot!!

Next I'm gonna holla at Mrs. Judy Crowe!  Judy is a pastor who gave up a very good job in order to follow God's calling.  Judy was an RPN and had held a position for some time at her place of employment.  When God called her into the ministry she answered.  Her time there has been full of ups and downs but her love for God has never failed.  Judy you are an inspiration of being true to the Lord.  Thank you. xo

Lastly, I would like to send a huge shout out to Dietta!  Dietta runs Berea Christian School in Liberia.  Dietta is a woman who is so strong in her faith and determination.  Dietta not only in the Principal of the school, but she teaches there too.  She supports herself through sewing and teaches this trade in the evenings.  Her determination and perseverance are only surpassed by her gentleness and love of the Lord.  Dietta, you inspire children every day to reach for the stars, you inspire me to do the same!

Thanks for checking out my blog today.  I hope you are inspired by the women around you!  Don't forget to comment!

Crowd Funding and Liberia

Have you ever heard of Crowd Funding?  Well, Crowd Funding is what it's called when you post an "ad" on a fundraising website in hopes of generating funds from outside your normal circles. Don is travelling to Liberia in April of this year.  He is going to be teaching some war-affected youth how to weld and build block making machines.  These machines will be used to build houses, schools, and much more.  In order to fundraise the money for materials, Don has set up a gofundme crowd funding account.  He has managed to raise $850 so far!  Check it out below and please consider donating!

These are some of the people that will benefit from your support.  These are real people and like us they only want to learn, grow, and better themselves!

Some more Pics!

Here are some pics for Liberia, November 2015.  I'm so excited to share my experiences and photos with all of you.  I will be posted new pics each week with a story to accompany them.

 This is a thirteen-year-old girl from the Doe community.  The Doe community is a slum community in the capital of Monrovia.  This young girl was carrying her newborn sister through the flooded streets of the community.  The image below gives you an idea of what it's like in the Doe.

 This beautiful little girl was very happy to have her picture taken while doing the dishes.  In Liberia, like most third world countries, the simple act of doing the dishes can be deadly.  The water used can be contaminated with typhoid or parasites, causing illness and possible

This is just a small view into the lives of those in the Doe.

Thank you!

A big shout out and thank you to Emmanuel Baptist Church, Bloomfield. Thank you for all who came out Sunday.  I really enjoyed sharing what God is doing in Liberia. I hope you all had fun and got a chance to try some Liberian food!  Most importantly, I hope you were encouraged by what you heard!  God is good.
