In October, I went to a weekend conference facilitated by Raymon Grace. I have yet to process all that I learned. The facets of Raymon, and his work on this earth are so many that it is difficult to know where to begin. He is one of the most genuine, logical, reverent and humble people I have ever met. With only that, he is a most unusual individual. In using a seasonal metaphor and as I blog about the facets of this human diamond, the lessons I learned from him "dance through my head like sugar plums". Usually I am not at a loss for words (!), but this process has been simmering for weeks! Where in the world to begin? Well, as Nike says, "Just do it!"
First, I was drawn to Raymon's missions on this earth ....many right there. So, I am going to begin with his work with human trafficking...a subject and area which I was an advocate for a few years. Trafficking is alive and well in my hometown, and as time went along, I became witness to two occasions with young women who were abducted for this purpose. One used her criminal savvy wonderfully to bring in law enforcement...that had a joyous ending. The other young woman...we pray often for her. She was never heard from again.
Beyond that, Raymon has embraced a mission which is committed to each and every person on this planet having clean drinking water. As I go along, because there is much to tell of his work, I will try to let Raymon himself tell the story, from his own videos.
I am going to paste some words from Raymon's own site about this missions. The video, one of several, will begin his own discussion about his beliefs:
The Raymon Grace Foundation
The Raymon Grace Foundation is a 501 (c) private foundation created to further the work of Raymon Grace.
The Foundation primarily focuses on projects that concern clean water, and clearing energy for people and places that promote health and spiritual well being. The Foundation will also consider other projects that are beneficial to our environment and humanity.
Foundation founder Raymon Grace, a native of Southwest Virginia, has studied various forms of healing for more than 30 years with teachers such as Rolling Thunder, a Cherokee medicine man and Chief Two Trees, Cherokee chief and healer.
Raymon explains the Foundation’s focus by saying,"Each day there are more and more people using and polluting water, resulting in less drinkable water . This is a trend that cannot continue if our descendants are to survive. We must stop this trend.”
