On our first trip to Nigeria, two years ago, we met a pastor and his daughter from a church in Fort Collins, Colorado. They were great to hang out with at Faith Alive Hospital and I vividly remember the pastor's floral shirts. Last August, we transported three boxes of vitamins which they collected at their parish, First Presbyterian Church, in Colorado. This year, the director of their program, Erika, contacted me again and said that they would be collecting vitamins. We will be able to transport a few boxes for them again this year and Erika will actually be at Faith Alive Hospital at the same time as NATIVITY:NIGERIA. (you can also follow her blog on the right side) This has been an awesome partnership between parishes on opposite sides of the country with the same goal: save lives in Nigeria. The parish in Fort Collins has been a great partner for the last few years and they have even helped to transport some of our Christmas Giving Program items in the past. It is always great to be able to work with other parishes who share our vision and it should be awesome to see them in Jos again!
