Ok, this is going to be Joyce's "hook-up" entry. I often think of things or connections that have helped me out and I just thought I should share some of those things with you. So here they are. First, we've got two newsletters that have given me so many connections over the years. I strongly recommend them. One is a weekly newsletter for mission-minded people. If you want to be in the know about resources and networking with mission-minded people get on this list!
~Send an email just saying you want to subscribe (one sentence will do) and if you decide you don't want it you can easily unsubscribe
*To subscribe, write to brigada-today-subscribe@yahoogroups.com.

*To check out their newsletter online go to at http://www.brigada.org

Ok, the second newsletter is bi-monthly and is called the web-evangelism newsletter. It’s also got a lot of great resources and info.

Now here is an absolute LIFE SAVER for people who have acne problems. This is the only thing I know that really, really works without going to a doctor, spending TONS of money and almost destroying your liver with medication. It's a bit pricey but totally worth it. You also have to stay with it for over 6 months to get almost totally perfect skin but you do see results immediately. So suggest it to anyone that really struggles with acne-it works!! And no, I don't get anything out of this just the satisfaction of helping someone cuz I know what a bummer it can be.

Some people want to support a missionary, they just don't know who or how. Well, I know a terrific organization. They are really reliable. A hundred percent of your money goes to a native missionary in Asia (as opposed to advertisement fees and such unless you specifically allocate your money to home staff and fees-which are important, too) You can "adopt" one missionary and pay about 20-30 dollars a month and that pays their salary. You also get a letter from them once every couple months telling you their prayer requests. It is written through a translator because most of the missionaries are village people. Another thing I like about it is you can sign up for automatic withdrawal out of your account, so that you won't forget. So here's the website. Check it out---www.gfa.org

Well, those are all my "hook-ups" for now. :-)
