It's the day of the journey and I need to give a huge THANK YOU to all who have supported the mission this year - this truly could not have been done without you and I cannot express my immense gratitude toward all who have contributed funds, those who have contributed their well wishes, prayers, emotional support, interest, insight, care; you are what keeps this going strong, so thank you from the bottom of my heart for all you've done. We are planting seeds to improve lives, and we are seeking and living out a fruitful growth for others. Sometimes, it's true, the world just needs a little nourishment, guidance, understanding in order to grow on its own - and I am floored by the number of gracious hearts I've come into contact with, encouraging that fruitful growth with your choice to give. It's a beautiful blessing and you blow me away.
A very special thank you to each of the following:

I look forward to sharing the experiences with you and will be giving it my all. I'm very thankful for all we've been able to accomplish this year and am eager to make strong, fruitful, intelligent decisions to see what more we can do in the future! Your desire to learn and your openness to give is vital in life and I thank you so much for that. Together, we can do great things. If there's one thing I've come to very much value this past year, it is the positivity of what can be done when we work together.
Happy Holidays, everyone. Please have a safe and Happy New Year! I appreciate your prayers as I head off and will look forward to sharing all I learn upon my return. If I can update from Africa, I will, but in the mean time, take care of yourselves - stay open, stay happy :) Pay it forward. To all who've reached out to help others this holiday season, thank you. No matter where it is, or what it is, it's important and it's a great thing.
God bless!
Stay Safe.

ReplyDeleteHello, my name is Hadji Beye and as an African I wanted to compliment you for your efforts in connecting and assisting African rural communities.
ReplyDeleteI am involved in a water development project myself and when I connected with Beth she told me about your blog. We could exchange ideas on how to positively impact development in Africa.
Thanks
