Today we celebrate a very special lady. It is Avis' 70th birthday! All the kids and staff at Casa de Paz wanted to wish Avis a happy birthday, so a few of the older girls put their artsy skills to work and created this huge birthday card with everyone's signature on it. Isn't is beautiful? They did an awesome job! We took photos of the kids, staff, and our bible study group with the birthday card, and sent the pictures and card to Avis as a birthday gift from all of her Peruvian family.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, AVIS! We miss you and love you!

Avis has been busy speaking in churches all over the United States over the past few months to promote her new book, Out of the Dust. She has also been on a few radio interviews, and will be appearing on the Canadian TV show 100 Huntley Street sometime in January.
Out of the Dust tells Avis' life story and how she came to be a missionary in many places, including Pacasmayo, Peru where she built the church, orphanage, and school that are here today. Her story is truly inspiring, and I would encourage everyone to read it! The book can be found on Amazon, and all proceeds from the book go to Go Ye Ministries to help the kids at Casa de Paz.
God has used this amazing woman to help the lives of many, and now He continues to touch many more lives through her story in Out of the Dust.
All by God's Grace and all for His Glory
I had missed this until now. Thanks so much for posting. And thanks for blessing Avis and the beautiful children of Casa de Paz!
ReplyDeleteSorry you didn't see it until now.. I didn't post it to Facebook last week, that's probably why. The kids had fun with this, it was our pleasure. Thank you for all your hard work and your huge part in making Avis' book a reality, couldn't have happened without you, Marti. God bless you!
