Connie Menser/Full Supply

Full Supply is a non-profit organization that was founded by Connie Menser in 2004 to enrich women’s relationships with Jesus Christ, teach application principles, and equip women for life and leadership. Through one-on-one mentoring and group mentoring, women gain confidence to share their faith, obtain practical tools for life, and discover their God-given passion and purpose. As a result, these women become leaders who mentor others for Christ, as well as leaders within their churches and communities. Some women start their own businesses, while others thrive where God already has them. In addition to helping women to grow in Christ and become Christian leaders, the ministry further impacts multitudes of women along their faith journey by leading workshops or teaching at events and conferences in the U.S. and abroad. It is by God’s grace, the ministry of Full Supply has expanded from the U.S. into Russia, Venezuela and Kenya.

Tempa Kohler/Special Kneads and Treats

Special Kneads and Treats is a 501c3 non-profit bakery with a core mission to try and ensure that any child in their community that has a birthday receives a birthday cake for free if the family cannot afford a cake. Their business focus is the hiring of special needs adults once they age out of county programs. They work with DFCS, Foster Care, and local food cooperative ministries, as well as many other local support groups to get these cakes into the hands of those in need. Special Kneads and Treats believe every child should have a birthday cake on their special day.

All Aboard the Healing Train!

00:00 /

Matt Zlotnick’s father was diagnosed with stage four lung cancer in 2006. Matt soon realized that his father’s fight to endure the treatment was only half the battle. It took a tremendous amount of energy to get to and from the numerous rounds of rigorous treatments needed. It was taking a toll on his father, family and friends. Taking time off work and having to call various people to ask for help– the cancer had not only invaded his father’s body but attacked the lives of family and friends. During this time Matt made a decision to help others that were also fighting this beast and reached out to his college friend, Josh Needles. CEO of Needles Solutions, Josh is a leader in the engineering wireless network industry. Josh saw the compassion and drive in Matt to help the critically ill and he knew that ‘change was going to happen and felt he could make it happen faster’. With Josh’s help, two years ago Matt started The Healing Train, a non-profit, 501c3, organization.

After the organizational process, both Matt and Josh knew that they could not physically run a transportation company, so The Healing Train partnered with Greene World Wide Transportation to provide free, professional and reliable transportation to and from appointments for those fighting cancer or other ailments. This transportation is 100% funded by charitable donations provided by local businesses. So, donations are critical in reaching and helping those in our community that need it most!

Matt and Josh have found a niche in the integrated healthcare delivery system that helps lessen the burden on many who need help getting to and from potentially life saving medical treatments. For those that might need The Healing Train’s service, they can be reached at www.thehealingtrain.wordpress.com.

We want to thank Griswold Home Care for sponsoring today’s show. Griswold Home Care has been a preferred provider of high quality, affordable in-home senior care in Atlanta for more than 20 years.
