nYn Lip Balm Class $10

Have you ever wanted to learn how to make natural cosmetic products? Now's your chance.

As a part of my upcoming trip to Uganda, we will be hosting Missionary Encouragement Dinners. This gives us an opportunity to love on those who have been called to full-time work in this area. At the end of the dinner, they are given little goody bags and nYn is providing lip balms for each of these ladies.

Since I need to make a large quantity of lip balms (approximately 150) I could use some extra hands. I thought this would be a GREAT opportunity to share my knowledge with some of you. I've decided to host 2 lip balm making classes in my home on Saturday, May 17th at either 10:30 am or 2:00 pm.

Class sizes will be small (limited to 4 per session) to give each participant good hands-on experience with the process. Each session will last about 90 minutes. Maybe longer if we get to chit chatting. ;) At the end of the class, each participant will receive 2 lip balms to take home!

Interested? The cost of the class is $10 per person. Click the link below to sign up for a session time. I will update this post when each time slot is full.

Give the gift of nYn for Mother's Day

Mother's Day is just around the corner. What better way to show mom that you love her than with a little love from nYn.

Our top seller continues to be the nYn Healing Salve ($6) which is great for a variety of skin ailments including sunburn, cuts, scrapes, burns, eczema and bruises.

Up next we have the ever popular nYn Lip Balm ($3) available in a variety of flavors. Choose between peppermint, lavender, grapefruit, orange or vanilla. Unscented is always an option too!

Our all-natural nYn Laundry Detergent ($6) also comes in a variety of scents and is safe for both regular and front-loading machines.

Maybe your mom would benefit from one of our new nYn Essential Oil Roll Ons ($7). Choose between our Stress Relief or Calming blend. The first one is great for headaches. The other helps with general relaxation but is especially helpful in obtaining a good night's sleep.

Summer will be here before you know it. Why not treat mom to some nYn Bug Spray ($7)? It's all natural, DEET free and smells great!

The nYn Combo Packs ($20) are perfect for mom's purse. They include 1 healing salve, 1 lip balm, 1 roll on and 4 bandaids in a nice little pouch.

If you need a custom package or scent, let us know.

Special orders are our favorite!

Mother's Day orders will be accepted through Sunday, April 27th and will be available for pickup starting on May 4th giving you plenty of time to ship (we can ship too) or deliver in person.

To place your order, contact Staci Bishop or select 

your items in the online store. 

*As a reminder, a portion of all product orders from nYn help to fund our homeschooling venture. Basically, you are giving the gift of health and education. Thank You!

Uganda Prep Update #2

Just joining in? Here's the backstory....

• nYn Supports Women & Children in Uganda
• nYn is Going to Uganda
• Uganda Trip Preparation Update

Things are going really well as far as preparations. My financial support has been coming in sure and steady, for which I am beyond thankful. Like, you have no idea how much each donation means to me. Hashtag "blessed" doesn't even begin to cover it. The Lord has consistently given me peace and comfort regarding this trip whenever I would get worked up about $3000. That's nothing to Him! 

I had enough in my MfM account to meet the first big deadline to purchase our group airfare tickets this week. PTL! The next deadline isn't until the end of May where I have to pay for accommodations. If you were planning to donate and it slipped your mind, it's not too late! You can donate through the Paypal link online. You can also make a tax-deductible donation by sending a check to the address below and earmarking it for Staci Bishop. 

Mercy for Mamas  |  1604 Prairie Run Circle  |  Mulvane, KS 67110

Two weeks ago, I finally made it to the post office and sent off to have my passport renewed. Let's just say that a wee bit of time has passed since my last passport photo at age 19. I may have aged just a smidge. 

Up next is trying to find a travel clinic in the Nashville area who will allow me to receive my Yellow Fever Card with an exemption. Due to my personal convictions about health & wellness I have decided to decline the recommended vaccinations for international travel and this area of Africa. Yellow Fever is the only shot "required" for entry into Uganda but I should be able to file an exemption, according to others who have done this. Of course, it may be easier said than done but I'm certainly going to try. The alternative is going without the card and hoping I'm not asked for it when going through customs. I'd rather not take that chance if I don't have to. 

I've also began my research into alternative therapies and immune boosters against malaria and typhoid, the biggest disease threats in this area. I will be sure to do a complete post on that when I've got my regimen nailed down. 

Many of you have asked how you can become more involved by providing Mama Kits. I can't tell you how much it excites me that this cause has pricked your heart as well. You can make donations through Hope Venture on a one-time or recurring basis. The kits are a mere $7 each and provide sterile birthing supplies for a clean and safe delivery. They are then distributed by Mercy for Mamas on trips like the one I'm joining this summer. 

Please know that I treasure each one of you who are following along with me on this journey! Until the next update....
