Friends in Faith: Annie Sweeney

I recently got a solicitation from AHC Inc., which builds and preserves affordable housing communities for low- and very-low-income people in my area and elsewhere. The solicitation was to help at-risk kids go to summer camp. It made me smile for a lot of reasons, not the least of which is that my friend Annie Sweeney wrote the letter; she manages AHC’s individual giving efforts.

Annie’s had a career full of helping nonprofits. She says she didn’t plan it that way; it just happened. Annie reminds me that it’s best to trust in the Lord and follow where He leads, rather than attempt to make His desires fit one’s highly regimented personal and professional plans.
