Your First Chance!



Here it is folks! Your first chance to help us help them. Our family is going to West Africa in June. One of the many projects we will be doing is planting Moringa Trees from seed. We need to buy the Moringa seeds Before we can plant them, they are costly.
Why Moringa Seeds? Once the trees are full grown the leaves offer superior nutritional value to both pregnant women and children. You can read about Moringa here: http://www.treesforlife.org/our-work/our-initiatives/moringa
Rachel and I are auctioning off a necklace we made of recycled magazines. If you are interested please email us at servingfamiliesandchildren@gmail.com
We will keep the bidders up to date via email. All bidding will Stop Midnight Friday. Payment musy be made within 24 hours via paypal.
Thank you for helping us help them!
Ami and Rachel

An excerpt from a letter

I picked up a book I had been carrying around in my vehicle for a while to read while my husband ran into my favorite local coffee shop.
It's called "Live Like a Jesus Freak"--Spend Today as if it were your LAST. By dc Talk
Page 50, there is a letter written by a communist soldier named Ivan to his parents. It was his last letter.
"...I listen to Him (Jesus), though my body does not wish to go through everything. I do this because I do not value my life as much as I value Him. And I will not await my own will, but I will follow as the Lord leads. He says, 'Go,' and I Go."
There is a popular song right now, You may have heard it it's called "It's Your Life" by Francesca Battestelli. Here is part of that song----
It’s your life
What you gonna do?
The world is watching you
Every day the choices you make
Say what you are and who
Your heart beats for
It’s an open door
It’s your life
While Rachel and I do not agree with the title I think the message is pretty clear. It isn't OUR life. We live for our Risen Savior. What choices are you making today to help others? Go meet your neighbor. Babysit a weary mom's child. You know what God's calling you too. NOW GO DO IT!

Most People

I, Ami, was given some very excellent wisdom today. I was told 95% of people want to do the RIGHT thing. Will you help us do the RIGHT thing?
My daughter and I have a heart for helping the children and families of our community, both locally and abroad. One way we figured we could do this is by making and selling jewelry.
I have two local organizations in mind and one overseas. Stay tuned for pictures of the jewelry and how you can help us save families and help children
Thank you for reading and stay tuned...
