Neal and Kristen Bond, a couple from here in Madison, Alabama, feel God’s calling to go to India. There are several specific items that they need before they leave in February . . . as you can imagine many of the things would be difficult to find (or very expensive!) in India.
If you would like to make a donation to the Bond Family, please look over the items on the list below and grab a few from your pantry to donate. A few of the items (especially the spices!) could be purchased for around $1 at Aldi’s. There are drop off bins for the Bond Family at Asbury United Methodist Church in the reception area, and your donations would be so appreciated! Read more about the Bond Family, and you can email Kristen directly at ecteacher7@gmail.com.
Donations need to be received no later than 1/26/12. Thank you so much!

Laurie, thanks for posting this. I know Neal and Kristen personally, and know they appreciate your help.
Thanks so much Becky! I hope we get them a bunch of the items….I can’t even begin to imagine finding so many of the items we use everyday in India!
I’ve already gone around the house and found I have extra in several of these items. So, check your stash!! It’s times like this stockpiling pays off.
It’s amazing how much those stockpiles help Becky!
I saw Sweet Baby Ray’s BBQ sauce at ALDIs yesterday.
