in Interesting Posts

Going through our list of up-and-coming missionary bloggers, I’ve found a few posts to share.  The first three are interesting because of the emphasis on networking throughout the body of Christ.  And the last one is a great blog about a wedding in Tanzania.

Sometimes on this blog we feature the "vets" – as in veteran bloggers.  At the moment that would be bloggers who started blogging before October 2005.

But today we’re talking about another missionary vet – that’s right, a veterinarian!

Goats.

The Christian Veterinary Mission says on their home page:  A Healthy Animal Makes the Difference Between Life and Death.

  • A malnourished child receives enough protein for healthy development from a cow that produces more milk.
  • A widow pays for her life necessities with her own income by selling the offspring from a healthy goat.
  • Nationals are trained in sustainable animal health practices and are empowered to be leaders in their communities.
  • Lives are transformed by the gospel of Jesus and those living in fear and despair are filled with joy and hope!

And that brings us to Dr. Kelly Crowdis.  According to the CVM website, Dr. Crowdis is now assisting with the training of Haitian Veterinarians and animal health agents and developing livestock loan programs.

And yes, she has a blog!  SUSTAIN Haiti has been up and running since 2006.  Take the time to read a few posts – and you’ll read about quite the adventures (to say the least).  As a matter of fact, even the post from today details a hold-up at gunpoint.

Take a look at a few posts, and leave a comment or two for Kelly!

9 September 2011

We have a nice little word-cloud on the sidebar here that shows which countries are mentioned the most.  This has a lot to do with how many bloggers there are in a country, how well they blog, how often they blog – things like that. Once in a while I like to feature blogs from [...]
