Kindred Spirits International
Kindred Spirits International, co-founded by Lynda Young and Carolyn Swanner, began in 1997 with conferences, publications, and ministries.
The two main outreaches of Kindred Spirits International are to the African refugee women's mission Amani ya Juu (Swahili for "Peace from Above") and to children's hospitals.
The two have come together to offer a "Tote of Hope" helping children around the world. This beautiful, sunshine yellow tie dye tote (9”x9”) with pockets and handles is made of soft, sturdy material, sewn and handcrafted with perfection. It comes in handy for all those trips back and forth to the hospital.

Many Amani families escaped killings, hatred, and have fled refugee camps. Now these mothers have hope as they work side-by-side “sewing peace through the eye of a needle.” The proceeds from the tote provide for their children.
