God has blessed us with the opportunity to write two children’s books “I Am Chosen To Be A Friend” and “I Am Chosen To Learn.” On this journey, we have had the opportunity to travel throughout the state of South Carolina to read and connect with children & teachers. To continue our journey, it is in my heart to introduce to you our “Connect, Read, & Write” initiative.
My specific prayer has been, “God, show me what you need me to continue to do with our books.” I received a message about Christy Heath, a teacher in Aiken, SC. Ms.Heath read “I Am Chosen To Be A Friend” to her class. The children completed a writing assignment to go along with the reading. With wise counsel through a few people, God made it clear what we needed to do. I am appreciative, humbled, & grateful that we get to serve children and teachers.
Purpose
The purpose of our “Connect, Read, & Write” initiative is to serve God by developing a connection with teachers and students through our books while supporting the children on their journey to becoming lifelong readers and writers.
Mission
Our mission is to create dialogue and ideas for the children to build on. We aspire to do this through our books, “I Am Chosen To Be A Friend” and “I Am Chosen To Learn.”
