Let me introduce you to one of my teammates!!  Martha and I share very similar passions when it comes to helping the poor and oppressed.  Her heart for those in need is simply beautiful.  You can read how Martha joined the World Race and how she was initially called into missions by reading her blog, I Was Called To The Mission Field.
 
In her blog she quoted one of my favorite scriptures.  I hope it begins to work in your heart, as it has in ours.
 
“Religion that God our Father
accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows
in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.”  ~James 1:27
 
I am so very excited to join with Martha and living a life of sacrifice to help those who are in need.  May we be the catalyst of change for each other as we serve the Lord and our surrounding communities.
She posted the following video on her blog and I think it is really powerful.
