3. The group
Calling Levi donated a set of the above CD's and t-shirt. Calling Levi is a group of four gifted vocalists who have traveled
throughout the country and all across the world. This full-time,
traveling, vocal ministry is a family group of two sisters and their
husbands. Last year alone the group traveled over 200 days lifting up
the name of Christ and pointing others to Him. Those who know the
ministry of Calling Levi know that their sole desire is to magnify
Christ through heartfelt music and testimony. Although they place
special importance on excellence in their program, their hearts are
sincere and their worship genuine. You will be refreshed and inspired as
you experience the ministry of Calling Levi. (We have another set just like this that will be given away for one of our monthly give-aways!)

penny of profit goes toward our adoption(s)." She and her husband are adopting from Taiwan, and have a huge heart for the orphans!

inspiration, a lot of creativity and
Office Home and Student 2010."

a co-op art gallery. One amazing fact about Chris' artwork is that he does his artwork with his mouth!!! Due to the disability that he was born
with-Arthrogryposis- he is unable to use his arms and hands well. The Lord
has allowed him to adapt and have a very active life. His art is done by
mouth (for painting and drawing) or by foot (computer; placing the mouse
on the floor and moving it with his foot). He enjoys cooking and martial
arts. His life's verse is Phil. 4:13. "I know I can't do 'everything' I
want, but I can do 'all the things' the Lord wants me to do." Just AMAZING! (We have 4 more of his beautiful prints to give away during our upcoming monthly giveaways!)
