Dear Friends:

Thank you so much for forming a team and volunteering on October 14th. Volunteers are the key component that makes our ministry so successful. It is encouraging to see groups like yours so willing to devote your time to mission projects. You don't have to be in full-time missions work to make a difference.

The stuffed animals you boxed are leaving on a container today for several orphanages in Guatemala. I have been fortunate enough to personally help distribute some of these animals in the past. I can tell you first hand how much these children, who have absolutely nothing to call their own, cherish and value these gifts.

I thank you on behalf of Gleaning for the World, Inc. and on behalf of all the children whose lives will be touched by the hours you spent. May God richly bless you for your faithful service.

In His service,


Judy Covington,
Volunteer Coordinator
