Off to a Great Start!

but with actions and in truth.

Dear Partners,

First off, thank you for your support. I say it over and over, but we could not do what we do without your support. Thank you!!!

Our year is off to a great start! Here’s just a glimpse at what’s happened so far:

• Our newest well is complete! 

• We held our first jigger clinic of 2019!

• We graduated 3 more students from our Made with Amore sewing school

• A batch of tote bags that has been lost at sea for over a year arrived (minus 96 tote bags that must’ve been a hit with someone along the way as they carefully took what they wanted and repackaged 53 of our 149 bags and sent them on to me. How nice of them!) ☹

• We have another batch of tote bags arriving the end of this month via Sheila’s luggage so we are hopeful we will receive these in-tact! 

• All of our children are in school (52 children)!

• We have plans for a great year ahead with God on our side!

I’m excited to see the visions that God has given me, and then confirmed with Heather, coming to fruition in the following ways:

Give Amore has our first fundraising event happening by someone other than Heather and myself this Saturday! If you are in the Austin area, please come by! There’s a silent auction, a donation based yoga class, private donations and I’ll be speaking and selling our tote bags. I can’t tell you how happy this has made me to see other people pour their gifts and talents into supporting Give Amore. WOW! I’m beyond blessed and in awe! 

I’ve also been asked to speak to women at my church and at another church in the coming months! These opportunities are an answer to prayer and I believe are affirmation of God’s promise to me that, after the rotten jigger experience, He would expand my territory for His kingdom. 

Please read on for a little more about some of the highlights of the month and stand with us in prayer for others to join us as love in ACTION!  

May God bless you and keep you. May he make his face to shine upon you and give you peace.
