Story by ADRA Staff
When Miranda Christina Jobe, a 9-year-old from Potomac Conference’s Piney Forest church in Danville, Va., found the ADRA International booth at Potomac’s camp meeting, she immediately wanted to know what ADRA did to help people and if she could volunteer at the booth.
Kim-Roux James, who was working at the ADRA booth, welcomed her eagerness to assist. “When she came to our table and asked to help, how could I say no to her enthusiasm and jubilant attitude?”
Jobe did whatever she could to help, including arranging the books on the table. Through James’ guidance, Jobe eventually built up enough courage to talk to booth visitors about ADRA and the work they do to help others around the world.
