A
Few Announcements

Dear
friends,
I'm getting the next
Hope Chest e-magazine ready to send, but in the meantime, I have a
few other announcements!
I
just realized that when I sent out the book
orders announcement
a little bit ago that I neglected to mention that all profits from
the Learner's Journal will again be used to bless Malawian pastor
Rev. Headson Makazinga. Specifically, he just sent me 8 handwritten
pages of a Chichewa language gospel tract to type, print hundreds of
copies, and ship back to him for distribution in the villages of
Malawi and Mozambique. I produced a similar tract for him many years
ago. I found it rather challenging since I it's really hard to
proofread in a language you can't read at all. (“Dziwani
kuti kumwamba ndi dziko lapansi kulibe wina woposa Ambuye wathu Yesu
Khristu.”)
Of course, I had to turn off spell check! But we eventually did get
it done, with back and forth mailings of proofreading copies and
corrections. I've lost track of how many I've sent to him, but it's
into the thousands. Any excess profits beyond the tract costs will
go to orphan care. Find out more here: What
in the World Is This? and
Out
of Africa (A Letter from Headson Makazinga).
If you didn't receive the book orders announcement, all of the
information is here Books
by Virginia Knowles.
Please note that I would like to have all orders in by Wednesday,
August 1 and books by August 8.
If
you plan to order from Christian Book Distributors, please enter
their site through my affiliate link so I can earn a little
commission. Here's the link: Main
CBD Page. CBD
has amazing prices, and that's where I am ordering everything
that I can't get used.
Do
you have a set of the Notgrass Exploring World History curriculum
(three books plus quiz/test book and answer key) or the Apologia Chemistry
DVD's that you want to sell? I need these! Let me know if you have
them for a reasonable price. I have a bid in on eBay for the
Notgrass stuff, but I'm not sure that deal is going to go through, so
my husband asked me to see if any of you has these! So far, I've
been able to buy a few things used off of Amazon, and some friends
have very kindly donated a few things I need that they aren't using
anymore. I also just ordered some curriculum from a lady who listed
on http://www.HomeSchoolClassifieds.com.
It was really, really easy and I got a great deal on some text
books.
Are
you interested in a low-cost alternative to health insurance?
Consider the Samaritan Ministries health cost sharing program. We
have been members for over 8 years and have been very satisfied.
They cover costs for any illnesses or injuries over a $300 per
incident deductible. I am so glad we had SM coverage when I went
into the hospital four weeks ago with heart attack symptoms. (See:
Weekend
Gratitude: A Healthy Heart).
The original bill was well over $20,000. Fortunately, Florida
Hospital gives a whopping 75% self-pay discount if you pay right
away, but that still left several thousand plus the other physician
fees. I'm sure glad we don't have to pay all of that right now! If
you are signing up for Samaritan Ministries, please give them my name
as a reference, and our family will get a credit on our next monthly
payment. More information? I wrote this blog post last year, though
some of the dollar amounts may have changed since then: Samaritan
Ministries: Affordable Alternative to Health Insurance
That's it for now! I hope to send out the Hope Chest e-magazine within the next few days.
