Gifts on a Mission displaying at fun market!

"I Am Handmade" Craft Market Event - April 19th, 20th
at Irwin Street Market in Old Fourth Ward

This is going to be really fun and I am happy to be a part of it! Irwin Street Market is sort of a co-op for hand-crafted items, all together in the building that houses Jake's Ice Cream in the revitalized Old Fourth Ward. During this weekend, the market will expand to include several artists that aren't a part of the everyday market. The event is sponsored by The Piedmont Review and will include music, food and fun. It's being called "an outdoor craft fair catering to the eclectic and funky tastes of people who love that original and handcrafted feel." I hope you can stop by!

Saturday 4/19 10-6
Sunday 4/20 10-6

House of Hope Update
As you know, Gifts on a Mission is partnering with SERV International in Woodstock, Georgia and SHARE International in Kenya to open an orphanage in the extremely tough area of Lodwar, Kenya. We are continuing to prepare for construction of House of Hope. Members of SERV are headed to Kenya next week to finish preliminary details and I will be back there the first week of May. Although we haven't officially started fundraising, many of you have already been so generous and I thank you so much for that. If you would like to donate, please go the following link on my website, Donations.
Stay tuned for more ways you can be involved and news on the start of construction. This is one way God has allowed us to help orphans in dire need in this extremely harsh area.
