As I read the book Making A Difference, the story by Kathy Stephens was astonished to hear how teamwork and the will is so heartwarming. Kathy and her husband Mike worked together as a team to volunteer their lives for a year, in order to be able to help others in need. The couple seemed to have life by the hand. They were settled in their home in Tennessee, both had jobs and their children were out of school and living in other states. What more could anyone want from life.
The will power to do for others, as well as for themselves. Together they have raised a family, and now they are helping families in need. They left home and quit their jobs to move into the volunteer house at the Christian Appalachian Project Center. While living here they have really demonstrated that the old saying (were there is a will, there is a way) is the way.
Kathy and Mike, along with four other ladies from the volunteer house shared a project together that is touching to the heart. As a team, they made it possible for a woman not able to live at her home, begin living there again. Using money from Christian Appalachian Project, hard labor, and the will to do it.
If the world had more people like Kathy and Mike Stephens, it would definitely be a better world to live in. Just knowing that there are people like them makes it a better place anyway.
