Below are some of the Youth that have volunteered for Hearth to Hearth Ministries.
Rebecca Clifford
Sixteen-year-old Rebecca Clifford began her volunteer work with this ministry as
the Sponsorship Coordinator for our Glory Children's Center, a position she held
for over a year. She is currently helping out in our Public Relations
Department, using her video-editing skills to help us prepare video clips for
our website as well as some DVDs for distribution. She lives in Colorado with
her parents and two brothers, where she is kept very busy with home school
studies, and work around the house. Her interests include: serving the Lord,
audio/video editing, search and rescue, photography, writing, animals, and the
outdoors.
Logan Harvey
Logan is an eighteen-year-old son of Scot and Maria. He is currently over in Africa volunteering for Hearth to Hearth
Ministries. Logan was home schooled and last year he took
his GED and started in college. He was only in college for a couple of weeks
when Hurricane Katrina hit Louisiana and he dropped out of college to go
volunteer at a FEMA warehouse in Louisiana. (Logan never really wanted a college
education, he just wants to help people.) After coming home from Louisiana,
Logan got a job working at a group home for mentally
challenged men. His goal
while working there was to save money so that he could go to Africa and see if
he wanted to run an orphanage for his life work.
Logan was not prepared for the want and suffering of the orphans in Kenya. When Logan, along with Brian Hester from Michigan, arrived at Glory Children's Center and saw all the children crying at the gate, begging to come in, they let in over ninety new kids—into a home that was already full with the forty-six children that were there. Logan then took the money that he earned, and some that his parents gave him to live on while he was in Africa, and bought mattresses and things for the new kids. With the new mattresses spread out on every available floor space there were still up to six little kids to a mattress. After a while a little over thirty of the new kids had to be turned back out onto the street because there simply was not room or money to care for all of them. Pastor Moses carefully selected those whom he thought had the best chance of survival and promised them that they would be given first chance to come into the new orphanage when it is built.
After a couple of weeks Logan went to Hope for Children Center where there were even more children begging at the gate to be let in. Logan wrote to his parents, sharing his thoughts about what he was experiencing, and you can just feel the emotion in his letters. His father made a PowerPoint slide show using some of these letters.

Elyssa Sims
Fourteen-year-old Elyssa Sims lives with her parents and
older brother Jonathon, in northern California, where she is home schooled. She
is working with our Public Relations Department, using her skills in photo
editing to help with our website and brochure designs, as well as typing up the
histories for the unsponsored orphans. She has also been involved in
fund-raising efforts by soliciting friends and neighbors, as well as initiating
a website for youth found at
www.youthwithaheart.com. Elyssa's interests include: Reading, the work going
on in Africa, sewing, animals, pen pals, photography, graphics, website
building, cooking and “doing stuff outside.” She also enjoys writing a lot, and
designing things. And, greatest of all her interests is serving God.
