My birthday wish...

Today is my birthday and I need a little favor. :) I’ve learned through studying “The Five Love Languages” that one of my love languages is “words of affirmation.” So thanks in advance for wishing me a happy birthday...haha.

As much as I love reading all the Happy Birthday wishes, what would warm my heart the most would be to hear that my friends are considering sponsoring an orphan or supporting my favorite organization.

Joel and I know the president personally and know the heart of this organization. 100% of the money given to the children, goes to the children. No money is taken out for administrative purposes!

If you decide to make a donation, could you send me a message so I can tally up the total? It would be so wonderful to hear from you before December 31…and you would get the end of year tax deduction. I will announce how much we have given and how many orphans are supported on January 1, 2011. The president recently told me that over 250 orphans need sponsors. Any amount is greatly appreciated.

This time last year, Alexis chose a special orphan, Navia to sponsor each month. Navia’s birthday is December 19. Alexis started a website and blog design business with a purpose of supporting orphans and her next mission trip. Sweet Navia lives in India and we know, through Global Partners, Navia has her needs met. She receives love, care, an education, clothes, shoes, food and water. Most importantly, she is taught about her Creator, Jesus and how much He loves her.

Give the Gift of HOPE. Partner with Global Partners in Peace & Development (GPPD) this holiday season to bring hope and help to people around the world. To view the projects in their catalog, go to http://gpartners.org/uploads/Christmas%20catalog.pdf

or visit their website:

You can make an eternal impact in the lives of others.

GPPD have 15 Children's Homes in India with over 600 children that are cared for and supported.

Everything that Global Partners does - feed and house orphans, educate children from the slums, care for widows, meet the needs of refugees, provide food and fresh water for the poor, provide Bible Schools for pastors and leaders, and much more - is done to show God’s love. The majority of us in the United States have been blessed in abundance. I believe that God has blessed us so that we can be a blessing to others, especially those who are in need.

Suggested donations…
$30 a month would sponsor a Child each month giving them food, clothes, education, shelter and love in India or Haiti.
$10 donation would buy one outfit for a child in Haiti.
$12 donation would buy a Bible for someone in Haiti.
$30 donation would supply an outfit, school supplies, toys, shoes and personal items to an orphan in India.
$100 would purchase a sheep or a goat for a family who is suffering from malnutrition or poverty.

And the list goes on and on. As you begin to look at the catalog, pray how God could use you this year to help orphans.

100% of your donation is tax-deductible. Global Partners is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization.
