Each day, Jamie and Sarah Hitel are surrounded by children: three of their own and dozens of others. They both have audiences that are counting on them every day. The Hitels are monthly donors and they have been for several years. Jamie has a real sense, through his own job, how important regular donations are since churches count on annual pledges and regular offerings to sustain the work they do for local communities.
Sarah has taught French and German, and she has taught at all grade levels. But her current charges, kindergarteners, are her favorites.
Despite their busy schedules, they both love their work and feel that their lives are blessed. They express this gratitude by sharing their abundance with our programs all around the world. Perhaps this sense of generosity comes from a near-death experience their whole family encountered a few years ago. Sarah explained how they were driving through a winter storm along Interstate 80 on Thanksgiving. The car hit a patch of ice and went into a spin, skidding off the road, totaling the vehicle, and frightening everyone inside.
But they all emerged unscathed. Thank you, God. Last, Jamie and Sarah Hitel. Healing the world starts with your story!
