We, Dave and Vicki Gross, have been in full time ministry for all of our 26 years of married life. We have served as Children's Director, Youth Pastor, Missionaries, Small Group Leaders and much more. We consider it a privilege to have served God our entire lives. We have two sons, Josh and Jeremy, who are both teenagers with one in college this year. Josh is majoring in guitar and wants to be a full time musician some day in a Christian Rock Band. Jeremy is very active in sports playing soccer and running cross country and in his youth group on the leadership team.
Over the years we have made furniture and sold many pieces. Our house is full of our furniture. Just recently God has led us to go at this full time. When we decided to do this, God laid on our hearts to continue to support missions and His work. We worked for Adventures In Missions and traveled to Africa many times. While there we fell in love with the Swaziland children and Go Go's, the grandmother women who take care of the orphans. So we have decided to give back 10% or our RETAIL SALES to Swaziland orphans. We channel those funds through Adventures In Missions. You can check out their web site and see the great work that they do and the credible organization they are.
Swaziland has the highest rate of the infection of HIV in the world. Life expectancy: 31. The country consists mostly of grandmothers (nickname Go Go's) and thousands of orphans. The land is green and mountainous. The people are starving, unemployed and sick........yet despite this scenario that most would label "hopeless," they have overwhelming amounts of JOY. The Go Go's life stories are filled with tears and strength. The orphans dance and consistently giggle. The Go Go's cook, work in the fields, and try to provide a means for the kid’s school fees. In most cases, the whole household is in survival mode.
So when you purchase with us, you are helping the helpless and giving back.
