Blogs with a purpose.

Since preparing to leave, I have tried to link up with as many organizations/people as possible and promote them.

This week, I'm specifically going to promote blogs that are connected to organizations.

-Katie Davis with Amazima Ministries in Uganda. This one started it all for me.

Katie's blog is amazing. I rarely make it through a post without crying. She is simply a girl who felt called to Africa, and listened to the call. She started an organization and has currently adopted 14 (and counting, it seems!) children to mother and care for...all before the age of 22. I mean, if that isn't a testament to God's grace and a picture of Jesus, I don't know what is.


-Renee Bach with Serving His Children in Uganda.
Serving His Children has a Feeding Program, Medical Program, and Malnutrition Rehabilitation Program. Again, Renee saw a need in Uganda, and decided to use the love of Christ to fulfill that need.

-Gwen Oatsvall and Suzanne Miller Mayernick with 147 Million Orphans. These two mothers, while going through their first adoptions, decided to start an organization to aid children in Uganda Haiti, and Ethiopia. In addition, they offer adopting families the opportunity to sell their products so that they may earn money for their own adoptions! 147 Million is the estimated amount of orphans currently living in the world. Their products are SUPER cute (the necklaces are gorgeous) and a great way to promote awareness of the orphan crisis as well as support families and children.

-Blogs for a Cause is a great blog in which the owner, Nikki, makes blog templates for people for a small fee which goes to help different international organizations. Not only are there links to hundreds of different "blogs with a cause", but she also helps support organizations with her talents. Brilliant!

-Orphaned No More A blog that sells bracelets to help a family bring their child, Isabella, home from China. The bracelets are super cute, and what better way to get accessories then to know that you're helping bring a child home so she will be orphaned no more!

-Women Doing More A wonderful blog by a woman that gives opportunities that others can participate in. I LOVE how each post has a "What you can do" section to show the reader how they can get involved!

If you're in a position to have a blog, I hope that you'll take the time to promote some very worthy causes. We have been given the gift of networking. Let's use it!
