Dear friends,

Jill Novak of Remembrance Press just responded to my "Home and Hospitality" issue with an exciting opportunity for all of you. I had read about it in The Teaching Home e-mail newsletter, but I'm glad she personally jogged my memory. Their family has established Hopeful Farm in Kentucky as a ministry to special needs families.   Please note that just by donating to this worthy cause, you can receive free home school curriculum, audio downloads, and e-books from Remembrance Press and other supportive vendors. Read on! This is truly "hospitality in action"!

Also, Dawn George in Miami e-mailed with a prayer request: "I wanted to share that after the Sovereign Grace Celebration conference we came home and our 9 year old son CJ was having severe back pain. He had a routine MRI on September 12 and was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Lymphoma. He spent 13 days in the hospital undergoing surgeries and tests and is now home and undergoing chemotherapy. We have been using our family blog to keep everyone updated.

Dear Friends,

I'd like to take a moment this morning to invite you and your children to participate in a very special event that is going on this week – something your family is just going to love to be a part of!

Many of you are familiar with Jill Novak, author of The Gift of Family Writing and publisher of The Girlhood Home Companion. This summer the Novak family began a new chapter in their lives with the founding of Hopeful Farm, a non-profit organization based in Kentucky that ministers to families impacted by special needs.

The vision for Hopeful Farm was planted in the Novak's hearts ten years ago, after the birth and death of their fourth child, Nicholas, who was born with a genetic syndrome. Now, Hopeful Farm is finally becoming a reality.

The mission of Hopeful Farm is truly unique and much needed as it seeks to provide an all-access environment in which families impacted by special needs may find time to focus on each other, build relationships, and gain refreshment and renewal in an escape from the exhausting grind of everyday life.

This is the first time Hopeful Farm has held a benefit of this magnitude, and you will not believe the resources that are being donated as a thank you for your participation. If you have been wanting some of Jill's writing and drawing products to enrich your home school curriculum, not to mention her resources for mothers and daughters, this is something you have to see! www.hopefulfarmfoundation.org/benefit.html

Not only that, but Jill's publishing friends have donated some incredible resources as well, as a way to bless you for becoming involved in this very important work.

Your family can have a direct impact on families with children with special needs – and in return, your own family will receive a blessing from all of the wonderful companies that have offered their products in support of Hopeful Farm.

If you would like to hear what Hopeful Farm is all about, you can access an online interview by Cindy Rushton with Claire and Jill Novak at www.hopefulfarmfoundation.org/interview.html

This benefit will run for one week only until Sunday, October 5^th, so take a look now...and please tell a friend or three or four about it!
