Spring Valley helps host Author Kim Vogel Sawyer

Local Christian author Kim Vogel Sawyer was hosted by Spring Valley Mennonite and other area churches October 16 at the Canton KS Community Center. Coffee, cookies and fellowship was enjoyed by about 40 ladies who came from seven of the surrounding communities.

These ladies heard Kim’s remarkable story of a personal God who has been with her throughout her childhood and adult life. Even though she was raised in a Christian home she still sadly experienced some very difficult times. God has brought her out of these painful experiences and fulfilled a childhood dream of becoming an author. After dedicating her writing to God’s glory at a Christian writer’s convention, her opportunities for publishing her stories exploded! Today she has over 1.5 million copies of her books in print in 5 different languages. In Kim’s words, she strives to write “gentle stories of hope.”

The ladies at the event were strengthened and encouraged to hear about God’s very real love in our dark times and His wonderful plan for our futures as we let Him direct our lives.
