*advent conspiracy 2009- global barnyard



This year, River of Joy will once again be participating in the Advent Conspiracy.

Last year we helped with clean water efforts in Nigeria. This year we are conspiring to stock a global barnyard of animals for unknown brothers and sisters around the world. Care to buy some chickens to help a family in the third world? How bout a duck? A pig? An alpaca? Perhaps a cow to provide milk or maybe a fish pond to kickstart a better life for an unmet friend?

Care to conspire with us this Christmas as we reach around the globe!

Visit the Good Gifts site and make a purchase or visit World Vision for some more options. When your done leave an anonymous comment below indicating what you purchased and we will keep a tally as God's Barnyard grows.
