Q: What excites you most about Forgotten Voices?

A: I am very excited about being on the Board of Forgotten Voices.  Our Lord has commanded us to feed the hungry and to care for widows and orphans.  I have found in Forgotten Voices no better way to do that and at the same time to show the love of Christ.  What an enormous privilege to have the opportunity to serve in a ministry that can and does really make a difference in the lives of those that are so desperate for our help.  I have had the opportunity to see first hand what Forgotten Voices is doing and the lives that are improving as a result.  Imagine ministering to a family whose loved ones have been ravaged by the horrors of the AIDS epidemic and have lost all hope or imagine bringing desperately needed food to orphan’s who have no other means of support or even bringing corn seed to a farmer who would have no crop without your help.  Forgotten Voices helps with all this and much more.  It is truly an honor to be able to serve such a worthy ministry and this is why I am so excited about helping in any way that I can.
