Seeds for Friends Over Seas

A CALL TO ALL FARMERS AND BELIEVERS IN COMMUNITY
Seed Loans for Friends Over Seas
through KAT ROBERTS
AN INDEPENDENT MISSIONARY, VILLAGE NURSE, AND COMMUNITY BUILDER
In the same spirit as this loving communityI am so fortunate to live in these beautiful Western North Carolina mountains, a fellow sister is slowly rebuilding a small village in Zambia Africa through small steps. She moved to this village in January of 2011 unaffiliated with any organization or religion other than the call of her heart after meeting a friend who was working in the next village over for the Peace Corps. The Village needed a nurse and after 3 years of traveling nursing in emergency rooms she felt it was time to give her gifts in a new community over seas.

On her own she has become the village Nurse Practitioner, fullfilling every medical need from delivering babies to treating malaria. Her personal mission is to support this community through education to the betterment of their overall health.

In light of this mission, she has begun a program to help these families start their own gardens. She has not done any formal fundraising to help support this mission, but is kindly accepting donations to help jump start the upfront gardening costs.
In Kat's own words, " Some of the farmers have already received seed loans!
I bought as many seeds I had money for, but there are so many people
who could use a seed loan! These seeds will bring them good money
and only cost about $10. "

A gift seeds is literally giving life and an assurance/insurance for the next season.With a few seeds,we have the opportunity to help build something beautiful that speaks to the soul as well as the eyes-there's no better therapy than diggin' in the dirt! :) And even a small garden can feed a family or more all season long!!!!

I support this project with all of my heart and wanted to share Kat's story through this blog. I am so proud of her as an individual and am honored to be called her friend. I pray that however this story leaves you, that you walk away inspired to put your heart closer to your community. We all need to lean down our ears to the ground and feel its' heart beat. We cannot know what our community's need if we do not pay attention. And paying attention is only half the needed response.

Like our friend Kat,
May we have the COURAGE, GUMPTION, AND PERSEVERENCE to follow through with practical and loving action.
