It's really encouraging to see things gain momentum with this ministry. In so many ways things have just grown beyond what we could have ever imagined. However, if you or someone you know is looking for a place where you can help out there's a variety of ways we could really use some help.
GOT SCISSORS? - So, it's kind of goofy but I know there's a lot of people out there that would like a completely mindless task to take your mind off the business your life has brought. In the next week or two we'd like to test a project that we would need about 1,000 change boxes cut out of some heavier paper. A little hole for dropping change in is the most important (the rest kids could do themselves). I'm sure there's good tools out there to do the job but I'd need some help finding them. Till then if there's anyone willing to help that would be great.
ARE YOU CREATIVE? - We're in constant need of all kinds of graphic design "stuff." Brochures, web sites, posters, ads, etc. Having these things designed often costs BIG $$$. However, the great tools for making these projects are made cheap for charities we just need the people now. If you'd like to give it a try let me know.
ARE YOU CREATIVE - MAYBE NOT IN THE ARTISTIC SENSE BUT YOU CAN WRITE? - One of the things we're pretty miserable at is keeping people informed about the AMAZING things that are going on in the ministry. We need someone who could take care of a quarterly newsletter to keep our supporters informed about what's going on.
DO YOU KNOW SOMEONE? - Our biggest task... PROMOTION! You know the reality of the fact that you can only do what there's money in the bank to do and people don't give to organizations they've never heard of. If you know of people that are A) eager to hear about this incredibly fruitful ministry or B) eager to promote the ministry in the broader community we could really use your help.
WANT TO SEE IT YOURSELF? - You can actually do a lot just by coming with us to see what is going on overseas. First, in many countries like India, people are so encouraged that people in North America would take an interest in what they are doing. A simple visit can do a lot to motivate a discouraged individual to do some pretty amazing things. Dates have not been finalized but we typically travel to India in October and January. Sometimes we arrange trips in May or August (typically has been for college students but we could certainly shift gears if there was interest) if there's interest. I'll be heading (Lord willing) to Belize in late June to help out with some more ground work and staff training if anyone wants to check up on me and what I do.
So if you've come to the end of this list and you haven't found anything that fits you and you'd still like to help out remember your prayers are vital! Please pray for these needs and that God would place it on someone's heart to fill these needs.
