Powder Power and the Growing Tower...!


I felt I owed it to all my donors to rebuild the tower with the 30 extra cans of formula that came in overnight from my wonderful pastor and church! (It’s ok– I’m getting into the Playskool mentality for my trip! ;-)

The grand can total is now 50!! And because I simply cannot carry anymore by myself (not to mention weight limitations!) I will have a very generous cash donation to give on top of all this! A thousand thank you's to all of you who contributed to this mission!! God bless you again and again!!

Get ready... get set...!!

In three days I will be on my way to Ethiopia on my first "Formula One Life" mission... delivering baby formula to infant orphans... and some desperately needed shoes to both orphans and poor children in need. God has blessed this mission far beyond my expectations--raising up such generous donors that I will have a surplus to give as a cash gift to the orphanage, as well! God bless and reward all of the people who are making this trip possible... Thank you for sending me to serve such precious children!!


...and this is not everything! My pastor has a suitcase of formula waiting in his garage! :-)


Donors bought 20 economy size cans of formula SO FAR (it's still coming!), 250 diapers & 700 wipes (orphanage requested items) while other baby items were donated by a dear friend, and the shoes I bought myself from Goodwill & WalMart for $2-$4 a pair...


Me, formula and diapers... just slightly out of my element! ;-)

Thank you, so much, everyone, for your prayers and support!!
