1). LEADING THE FIRST EVER #fhbloggers TRIP TO ETHIOPIA JULY 9-16 One of the first new projects I began to work on when I first started with Food for the Hungry a year ago was a blog trip. I feel like everywhere I turn I have a close friend that is a solid blogger. I definitely understand the influence that bloggers with a passion have online, and the amazing thing is that this group that has been assembled for this…

Most debts like this will never be paid back and will be…

I had the honor of attending the first annual Epoch Awards this week on behalf of the organization I serve, Food for the Hungry, at the historic Fox Theatre in Atlanta, GA. This event was extremely well put together and hosted by Jon Acuff & Naomi Zacharias.
