SYL: Love Is Still a Worthy Cause

Sara Groves is one of my favorite Christian artists, and this video shares a story, along with music.:)  Since I’m just getting back from vacation this week, it seemed the perfect time to share this.  Enjoy!

SYL: Angels4Epilepsy

Jamie is a 7 year old little girl with a vision, a vision to help other kids with epilepsy to know that they are not alone. Two years ago, Jamie and her family discovered, after a seizure at 5:30 in the morning, that she had epilepsy. What a scary time this was for [...]

SYL: I Saw What I Saw

Sara Groves is one singer who truly inspires me. After featuring Gabi and Racham Ministries and finding this video once again on her blog, I thought it’d be perfect for SYL. We can’t forget what we see….we can’t forget the things that we hear….we can’t forget the suffering that is going on all [...]

SYL: Mama Gabi & Racham Ministries

The other day I received a comment from Gabi, who also has a blog, Valued Far Above Rubies and Pearls. When I started reading down through Gabi’s posts, her writing just gripped my heart. She has such a poetic, amazing style of writing, and you can feel her heart in everything that she [...]

SYL: Prajwala

The more I read and study about the subject of human trafficking, the more passionate and angry I become….passionate and angry enough that I’m ready to help in this fight and struggle for human dignity. When I read stories of young girls being sold for as little as $1,000 USD, it angers me that [...]

SYL: Cruise 4 Haiti

I know that last week I said that I would be featuring an organization called Prajwala, but I am reserving that post for a later time. I was informed this week of a very unique and awesome opportunity through Airline Ambassadors and Cruise 4 Haiti, so I’d just like to share this info with [...]

SYL: Dr. Sunitha Krishnan & the Fight Against Human Trafficking

If there is one topic that gets my blood boiling, it is the topic of human trafficking. I will never, ever even begin to comprehend or understand how one human can see another human being as a dollar sign. I will never understand how one human being can be so cruel as to torture [...]

SYL: Airline Ambassadors

Airline Ambassadors International is an organization, affiliated with the United Nations, that helps ordinary people become “Ambassadors of Goodwill” in their own communities and abroad. The organization started as airline employees making a difference in their travels, but now medical personnel, students, families, etc., can volunteer with Airline Ambassadors.

Their mission is to provide help [...]

SYL: Sing, Sing, Sing!

Sometimes we all just need a moment to catch our breath, a moment just to sing, to shout, to just give praise.  This week, instead of sharing a ministry, I decided to share Chris Tomlin’s Sing, Sing, Sing.  It’s an awesome, inspiring song….I hope it will encourage you, as you go out, ready to shine [...]

SYL: Praying for Aaron Update

I just wanted to share a note that Nancy sent out a couple of weeks ago, concerning Aaron’s fight with Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma. They thought they were clear, until the results of a PET Scan came back. Many things have happened since this note, and they have decided to forego the surgical biopsy, as [...]

SYL: New Horizons for Children, Inc.

Dan and I have always talked about adoption, and it’s always been something that has tugged at our hearts….it’s one of those things that just won’t let us alone.  Last week, as I was reading one of my newsletters that I get, I noticed this organization listed, and so I clicked over to it, as [...]

SYL: Diaper Love

Diapers are something that a lot of people might take for granted. I speak from experience when I say that there have been times when we struggled to buy that box of diapers, just because the price was so hefty. You might ask, “Why not use cloth diapers?” Well, because for our [...]

SYL: Care to Learn

Care to Learn is an organization in the Ozarks that seeks to help schools provide the needs of some 30% of children who live below the poverty line. 30%! That is a lot of kids, when you think about it. These kids may be hungry, they may not have a coat in [...]

SYL: Candlelighters, NYC

My nephew Trey was diagnosed with Stage 4 neuroblastoma in November 2006. In 2007, his parents took him to New York, where Dr. LaQuaglia was able to successfully remove the tumor. He still has to go to NYC for scans every 3 months, and it was through his website that I found out [...]

SYL: Treasures Interview

A couple of weeks ago, I featured an organization that helps women who are trapped in the sex industry….this organization was called Treasures. Below is an interview with Harmony Dust, founder of Treasures:
1) How does a person, who would like to start a ministry in this field, even go about approaching the strip clubs? [...]
