| Karen & Don Kilmer |
Don and Karen Kilmer are the missionaries I will be serving with in South Africa.
Karen and I were catching up with each other the other week on Skype.
She was telling me that Don was preparing for his Sunday sermon.

"Free" is a missionary's favorite price (I know it is mine).
Karen was making a few CD's to pass on to some of the people.
Keep in mind, that our electricity is not always on,
not everyone in the village has electricity or a way to play a CD,
but also that a number of the people work in places where they have access to a CD player
(as an added benefit, others will hear the songs of glory to God played for them to hear).

What a great way to support what her husband is preaching
and to be a blessing to those who truly want to honor the Lord in thier music!
