About Me

Aka: Pat Kashtock. Mother of three, wife of one. BA in Social Work and Biblical Studies. Graduate work at Virginia Tech interrupted, then derailed by oldest child’s brain tumor...

My life has not followed the course I planned. But I am not complaining. Pain is to be expected in a world broken apart from its Creator.

The miracle resides in the ability to find joy when least expected...

For What It's Worth

Each life is a journey. The voices of many guides try to direct us, saying, “This is the path – walk in it!” Yet each one leads in a different direction.

I believe only one Voice can be true. That Voice will lead us in ways most unexpected, into worlds yet undiscovered. It will lead us up the hill, around the river and through the forest. And sometimes, it will lead without mercy.

Or so it seems.

I have made listening for that Voice and following it, my life’s quest. I will share some of what I have heard that Voice say with you. But I am not in the business of telling people how to think or what to believe. Each has to decide for himself. Only you can decide if you find the truth of the Voice in these words.

Malavika's story

Dear Patricia,

This Christmas, people just like you all around the world are standing up to boldly counter the lies of slave-owners and other thugs. Together, we’re proclaiming that the lives of children like Malavika and her family matter that nobody should live as a slave. It’s a beautiful message of truth and hope as we celebrate Christmas.

If you haven’t had the opportunity to make a year-end gift please consider giving today. And if you have already made a gift so IJM can rescue others like Malavika, thank you.

Merry Christmas to you and your family from the IJM team around the world.

Gratefully,
