Full of Gratitude

I have so much to be thankful for!
Many of you have donated to support Faith Seeds, and I want you to know how much it means.

Faith Seeds serves families in Guatemala near Xela, meeting real and ongoing needs. The ministry pays tuition, uniform costs, and school supplies for eligible students. The after-school program is a safe space for the children, for the mommas who often walk many kilometers to bring them, and even for their pets! I loved seeing how it became a true refuge from the hardships of daily life.

Many of these families make their living by collecting recyclables in the garbage dump. Faith Seeds offers their children a different future—an education that helps them understand they do not have to work in the dump. They learn that God has a plan for their lives, that they are made in His image, and that they are deeply valued.

Beginning in January 2025 Many items were donated to me for Faith Seeds and I am happy to report you have allowed me to be a part of a matching fund effort! Thank you!

Many books!

UFO's

Many of these items went on Etsy. PS there is still one of these blocks above available! Expertly hand appliqued by Juliann. Look for it HERE. 

Juliann also donated this UFO and I am getting it completed. That will be a 2026 donation! 

Of course there was the amazing auction this summer with wonderful results with quilts that were donated! You can see that HERE.

My heart is full!

We had originally planned to go to Guatemala in November and circumstances caused us to delay that trip. We will be leaving the last day in January through the first week of February. 

Most of the families live at the foot of a volcano sitting about 7500' elevation so it does get chilly. 

Donna has graciously sent 3 boxes of warm clothing and coats to bring with me! Her daughter Krista knitted hats and I got those this week! So excited to deliver these and help distribute them. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

If you would consider donating YOU all helped make matching funds up to $10,000! School starts in January and tuition, uniforms, and supplies all need to be paid for. Faith Seeds has an after school program that provides tutoring and a large meal. If your heart is stirred to give you can do that HERE. 

Thank you all for your generosity!

Much Love
