Welcome to Season 2 of the Togetherness Team - Women's Edition Podcast; Melissa's first guest is Kathleen Bendiksen, Founder of Love Can Cross Oceans, a Brevard County based non-profit providing aid to women and children of the Ukraine. Kathleen and her husband Magnus always wanted to have a large family; little did they know the road they would take to get there would be full of ups and downs. Many years after they had their first child, with the help of Love Can Cross Oceans ministry, and a trip to the Ukraine, they finally became a family of 6! Kathleen later faced a serious illness - as she prayed, she received a message from above, and knew she was called to a higher purpose - to give back to a country that she had learned to love, when they needed it most. This is a powerful, inspirational story of one Mom's journey of timing and faith, as she grew her ministry to a non-profit that has provided over 18,000lbs. of food and supplies to the people of Ukraine during this challenging time and helped to give refuge to women and children that have fled the country.
