1 Chronicles 4:10 NIV 10 Jabez cried out to the God of Israel, “Oh, that you would bless me and enlarge my territory! Let your hand be with me, and keep me from harm so that I will be free from pain.” And God granted his request.

It is North Alabama Kids Directory’s first Birthday!

Last October we were just getting started. During the year, we have met so many wonderful people in North Alabama.

They are our advertisers, distribution partners, and loyal readers. Those relationships are priceless to us.

As we look forward to another year, we pray that God will bless our endeavor. We ask that we may increase our territory and that we may serve North Alabama successfully again in the coming year.

To advertise contact: Amy Phillips 205-515-2564 amy@nalkidsdirectory.com Please like us on Facebook, for weekly prizes.
