Master 257: FacingGrace & Intrinsic

Here are a couple links to work that friends of mine are doing.

This first link is to a website called "FacingGrace." It is managed by a friend of mine, Daniel Bernstrom, whom I met during my time at APU. He is an author and creative writing graduate student at Hamline University, recently married (I was the best man!), and all-around amazing guy. The Holy Spirit's presence is very evident in his life. FacingGrace.com is a Christian resource site for devotional encouragement. Daniel draws from his own experience as an adopted child, victim of sexual abuse, and disabled adult in his writing to bring words both challenging and encouraging to his readers. I've been privileged to be able to contribute a little to the work that he is doing.

Here's the Website Welcome video for his site.

The second link is to the website for a company called Intrinsic. This company was started by a friend of mine, Steven, who is passionate about fighting poverty and transforming communities around the world. Intrinsic began in Kibera, Kenya. It is the second largest slum in Africa. The vision of this company is to help connect the skilled workers and artisans in these communities to global markets and high-demand industries so that their hard work can actually make enough money to support families and build up the community there. They've started with laptop and tablet cases. And they're going to build from there.

Here's their latest ad:

God is in this place,
And that reality, seen and understood by the grace of God in Christ Jesus, through the work of the Holy Spirit, makes all the difference in the world.
