My mission trip to the women’s shelter near Lancaster, PA, is fast approaching. We are currently gathering gift material, donated girly stuff like lotions, bath gels, makeup, etc., plus–get this–zebra-themed items at random. Pencils, sunglasses, bandanas…you get the idea. So if any of you readers has a source for things like this, let me know!

More importantly, and more difficult to find, for these women are some study books their director has indicated are important for them. It is a faith-based program, so bible study is part of their curriculum. If any of you can help point me towards any of the following items, post a comment ASAP. Think of churches or people who went through these years ago or who might have an extra copy, or your old friend who works for Lifeway Publishers…that sort of thing. Thanks!
