Friends of Faith Blog Hop



Welcome to Scrapbook News and Review Magazine's A Faith Perspective; Thankful for Friends of Faith Blog Hop. Today, we're out in force on the internet -- showing our faith and giving the glory to God. United, we stand as Christian paper crafters and blog owners to make a presence on the internet for all to see. We're celebrating the theme of friends and we're happy to share our projects with you based on the verse:

"Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their work: If one falls down, his friend can help him up. " Ecc4:9-10a I can't think of a more appropriate layout to share with you today than this one. That's my sister, Gayla, with three of our sponsored African children. Gayla was fortunate enough to be able to visit the children on a mission trip with Horizon International, last year.
