Heart for Africa!!

We had a blast this weekend in Atlanta at the Heart for Africa event!! It was absolutely one of the coolest things I've ever experienced. They are such an amazing group of people who have fully committed their lives to being the hands and feet of Jesus to the orphaned children of Africa. Jeremy and I look forward to what God has planned for us with Heart for Africa. It was a great celebration but we also had to remember why we were there. That there are millions of orphaned children living alone today with no food, no clean water, no one to love or care for them. Check out the Heart for Africa webiste:

We had a blast with Chantelle and Eric!!

Here we are 7 1/2 hours later presenting the Uhaul full of the goodies to Janine Maxwell from Heart for Africa!
We asked for donations to to fill a container that will be shipped to the orphanages in Africa. Wow, did people step up!! Chantelle and I joked about how cool it would be if we had to pull a Uhaul full of stuff. We actually had to pull the biggest Uhual we could get! It was so amazing thousands of diapers, strollers, bouncy seats, rocking chairs, underwear, and more and more!! Thank you to all who gave!!! This will be such a blessing to the children and caregivers!
