Giving Back 2010!!!

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and Happy New Year!!!

From Hannah and Joy of Love Designs

It's the time of year to look back on the accomplishments made, the trials and triumphs over the year, and goals achieved. One of my favorite things to look back upon is the way that God made for us to Give Back. Because of you, our FANS and loyal customers, Hannah and I have been able to Give Back to several ministries that help save and change lives not only in the U.S., but all over the world. We are blessed to be a blessing and it is with a cheerful heart that we sow into these ministries. Hand of Hope ministries touches lives all over the world...here is a list what this ministry accomplishes throughout the year:

• serve millions of meals to the impovershed worldwide


• fully support and operate children's homes


• nurture HIV-AIDS orphans in third world countries


• help the homeless off the streets


• provide clean, safe water to entire villages


• treat thousands through our medical missions outreaches


• minister to the elderly


• help troubled young women


• reach our to thousands of inner city children


• offer hope to forgotten prisoners


• rescure women and children from human trafficking

Another ministry we support is the ministry of Marylin and Sarah. This ministry is run by a mother/daughter team who not only save and change lives, but, have a heart to deliver the gospel all over the world.

We were also able to sponsor a child for Operation Christmas Child along with our MOPS group which all together were able to send out 22 shoe boxes filled with Christmas goodies to children all over the world.

Finally, we have been long time supporters of The American Leprosy Mission. This mission provides care to people around the world with leprosy and Buruli Ulcer and related disabilities. This ministry is a non-denominational Christian ministry of hope and restoration for those suffering from these diseases.

We are very thankful that the Lord continues to bless us and prosper the work of our hands. We are also very thankful for you. Without you, we would not be able to help these people in such a profound way. With every purchase...we give back to these ministries. We would like to wish you all a wonderful, blessed Holiday Season!

2 Corinthians 9:7

So let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver.
