This month, Allen and I have focused on visiting friends of ACE in Mississippi. Yes, fundraising is always important, as well as receiving volunteer help through our teams. Yet, as we were driving back to Atlanta to prepare to leave for Jamaica, both of us agreed that the best part of this trip was catching up with friends we haven’t seen in years, talking about life, and being introduced to new friends. The common denominator is and has always been ACE.
God has blessed ACE with incredible people who, year after year, support, send, pray, and recommend others to (what we would like to call) the best ministry in Jamaica and the whole Caribbean! This trip, we were introduced to new pastors and new friends who offered professional help furthering our bee business, as well as our growing towers. Allen and I are forever grateful for the way God knows our needs before we even ask.
Get ready for some new products ACE will be selling in our various micro-businesses to sustain the heart of our outreach programs. It’s going to “bee” so sweet and tasty!
Blessings,
Marla

There is an old proverb, “If you give a man a fish, he’ll eat for a day, but if you teach a man to fish, he’ll eat for a lifetime.” History proves that lasting change in a poverty culture is achieved by empowering the people to reach their full potential and become self-sustaining. ACE is invested in our community long-term and in conjunction with our partners in the US, we are identifying the circumstances of those around us in order to find real solutions for their unique needs.
