In this case the bond that I am talking about is marriage. Nope, nobody on the team is getting married, well at least any time soon. People come up to me all of the time asking about NATIVITY:NIGERIA and what we are doing / how its going / everything you'd ever want to know about Africa. This past weekend, Maria (known fondly as MFK) forwarded me an email from a frequent visitor of Nativity who had heard about our ministry. He was getting married on Saturday and told us that in place of wedding favors, he and his wife were interested in making a donation in support of the work we are doing in Nigeria. He even wanted to give us some love at the reception and share what we are doing with his guests!
Needless to say, I was in awe of this gesture. We are honored to be included in one of the most important moments of his life. This display of giving serves as an inspiration to all of us. He and his bride have chosen to forego traditional material wedding favors, and give a life-saving gift to those in need. We wish Mike and his bride all of the best in their new life together!
