About the Amazon box...

Hey! A quick note to all of you out there reading my blog...

If you're wondering why I have an Amazon search box on my page now, here's something cool!

If you start your Amazon searches from this box, you will be logged into the ELCJHL Libraries Project: Opening A World of Possibilities, and for everything you buy when you're logged in, Amazon will give between 4 and 7% of the purchase price to the charity of the ELCJHL's choosing.

And the charity that the ELCJHL has chosen to give to?

Well, it's all about Accompaniment--walking with one another.

And so, when the ELCJHL found out it was going to be able to direct giving to a non-profit, they wanted to walk with the ELCA Global Mission, just as the ELCA Global Mission walks with them.

And so, they asked the ELCA if it would be okay to direct their Amazon giving from the Libraries Project to ELCA Missionary Support for missionaries in the Holy Land.

So... in a sense, when you start your Amazon searches and purchases from my blog, you're giving to the ELCJHL, who's giving to the ELCA. All so that I have the privilege of walking with these amazing people every day!

And for that, I thank you!!!

Peace,
Elly

ps-if you're wondering what on earth the ELCJHL Libraries Project: Opening a World of Possibilities is, it's worth a click! If you already know what it is, but need another link to the bookstore, click here!
