The Internet Makes the World a Smaller Place

There’s someone I’d like you to meet.

I first met the Huffman’s online. {I’ll let the shock where off}.

Kimberly left a comment on one of my posts about the Mercy House. I clicked right over. Her blog is called: The Huffman Family  in Kenya and it’s about her family’s journey founding and running Mattaw Children’s Village.

I have read and read and read. Learning so much more about the culture I love. The Huffman’s have been an integral part of helping us behind-the-scenes in starting Mercy House. They have met with Maureen (and fallen in love with her! Who doesn’t?), answered a ton of questions, shared their travel contacts and so much more.

This beautiful young couple with two sweet babies met in Africa. They were both serving the poor. They knew they wanted to spend their lives there and after they married, they opened Mattaw. I have been so impressed with their work and the amount they have accomplished in just four short years.

Mercy House and Mattaw are dreaming of working together to rescue some of Africa’s forgotten.

The Huffman’s returned to America for a short time to do some necessary work stateside. When I discovered they would be in Texas, I knew we had to connect in person.

On our way to meet them at Chick Fil A the other night, my daughter, “So are we meeting someone you met on the Internet?” And no one in the car thought the question was weird.

It felt like meeting family. Africa bringing us together over sweet tea! We shared stories and encouraged one other. They are missionaries, doing hard work for Jesus. I’d love for you to pray for them and even consider financial support.

[It may seem weird that I’m asking you to support them considering I’m working to raise money for Mercy House. But money isn’t an issue with God. He has plenty. If He burdens your heart for this family like He has ours, GO WITH IT!]

We are so thankful that God allowed our paths to cross and we are very excited about what the future holds.

I love that the Internet makes the world a smaller place!
