Legacy Partnerships and Projects
Joni and Friends
Legacy’s ongoing Missions Project is a partnership with Wheels for the World in Brazil. Along with prayer and financial support, hundreds of wheelchair cushion pads and bags are sewn for the 200 chairs that are distributed on each trip. Legacy members are also encouraged to join the teams. To check out this ministry, CLICK HERE.
Christian Grandparenting Network
Leaving a Legacy to grandchildren is high on any Christian grandparents’ list. Godly grandparents want to be intentional about building and leaving a legacy of hope, faith, and blessing for their children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren.

Crossroads Ministry
If you are interested in ministering to the elderly who reside in our Community Care Centers, check out this ministry founded and directed by Kay Owen. Over 85% of our nation's residents rarely have visitors. Volunteers of all ages (and families) can participate. Find out more at www.crossroadsusa.org

Memory Writing
Is your family hearing your stories? Do they know why you have that scar on your knee or why you don’t like a particular food? Do they ask you to tell your stories around the fireplace or your chair? Mine don’t – much too busy – they don’t even realize what they don’t know. There is an easy, exciting, not overwhelming way to introduce them to Grandma and Grandpa – even before they are aware they are missing some really important events in their parent’s lives. For details, call Lana Rockwell at 719.388.4972.
