Get Bridged

I have met a friend through this whole blog sphere that has turned out to be a real treasure. She is a good old Pennsylvania girl like myself. She commented on a post of mine one time and we just clicked. We grew up so similarly - barefoot farm girls! We have emailed quite a bit over the past months and have gotten to "know" each other the best that one can over a vast ocean. Oh yeah. She, her husband and children have been obedient and followed God to a world so foreign to mine. They now reside in Turkey. It has been a joy for me to share my heart with her and learn about the work they are doing in Turkey. Her sister's family also lives in Turkey with them (near them). I am constantly amazed at what she has given up, what she is learning, etc. I am very hopeful that we will connect in person someday since both of their families are in Pennsylvania.

Anyway....today they launched their business website http://www.getbridged.org/ They have partnered with artisans in undeveloped countries to sell their products. This obviously increases their chances of growing their business which helps them better support their families. It is not a new concept but it is a concept that works!!

I am asking that you think about them this year as the holidays are approaching. You can buy beautiful products as gifts and help support families on the other side of the world. Go check them out!! And if you want to learn more about charity and her family head on over to www.lifewiththehildebrands.blogspot.com
