Merry Christmas, Everyone!

We’re hoping you’re all preparing for a great Christmas and pray that December is treating you well. I have a few updates for you in “Ebenezer News”.

First, I’m very happy to report that Ebenezer is in Africa!!! Lori Michalik, a very incredible friend of mine and Tim’s, went to a village near Tanzania in Africa this summer to help with financing new hospital facilities and to work with the women and children. I was thrilled and honored when she called to see if she could bring Ebenezer with her. I excitedly agreed and immediately pictured her reading to the children. Doesn’t that put a smile on your face?

Ebenezer has been in Africa for a few months now and I believe many return trips are in store. Lori Michalik, President LSI International Development and LSI, Lender Services L.L.C. documented her journey through pictures and is a true inspiration. She has begun CID, Consider It Done, of which she is President. Look for more updates on Consider it Done and the new work that will be done in Africa!

 

 

Secondly, I have several engagements booked for this spring at elementary schools (including Avon Lake and Brook Park) and at a few Barnes and Noble stores. Check the website for a complete listing after the first of the year.

Also, just in case you’re looking for the perfect gift for those sweet kiddos on your shopping list…Ebenezer will come to your rescue! Check with me for details on Christmas sales on Ebenezer Flea and the Right Thing to Do. Personalized gifts for kids, libraries, or even your hair dresser are in style this year! :)

Thanks for supporting Ebenezer. And a special thanks to Arrow International for donating several books to the Berea Children’s Home this year. You all make a difference!

Love, Hannah (as well as Ebenezer Flea & Friends)
