The Ripple Effect

Some exciting news around Zestos, Inc. lately. We've really been able to see how God has brought people together, made their paths cross-- in unexpected ways. 

We've talked to people who've read the article or heard about Zestos from friends and we are able to share a bit about who we are... but more than that, we're excited to tell them stories about what God is doing. 

A few weeks ago, after telling a friend, Amanda, about Zestos, I (Mary) started to pray that people who needed us would be right in front of our faces. 

The next day Amanda shared with me about on her nightly walk, how she bumped into an neighbor, Sherrie, who after a long conversation confessed that she had to choose between electricity and groceries. 

Amanda and I really wanted to help Sherrie, so Zestos packed up some muffins with Amanda as an ambassador. In the last few weeks, Amanda has really been able to show Christ to Sherrie, just by being her amazing self. 

This Monday, Amanda took Sherrie to get her hair cut, at Salon Centra (a supporting merchant!), Sherrie had so much hair to cut that it could be donated to locks of love. 

You could see the weight literally lifted off of Sherrie's shoulders. She was able to feel more confidant about her self and help someone else in the process. Amanda was helping Sherrie, patronizing a Zestos Merchant and Sherrie's hair went to make a wig for a cancer patient. 

God's love just keeps on moving, far beyond where we think it can go.

If we take the time to look for God in the everyday, we see him every where. 

Thank you Amanda for sharing your story with me and for sharing you're life with Sherrie!
