“I want to be engaged in God’s work with all that I have in me,” Julie said. “I feel I need to be doing more than just writing checks. Eric and I have been so blessed in our lives that we want to give of ourselves 200 percent by sharing the love of Christ in helping those in need with our hands and hearts.”
