Guest of the Month: Bridgeway Publications

We have discovered a retired missionary couple in Australlia with a wonderful plan to provide a basic library of Christian resource books for pastors and teachers in the poor churches of many third world countries.

Worthy Causes Deserving Generosity

Via the internet we can make some interesting friends around the world. One such friend does a lot of traveling around the world in his line of work, and he meets a lot of these small mom-and-pop type of missions or ministries in all kinds of needy countries. Usually they are nationals from that country who see a great need and are doing what they can to meet it - however, they don't have time or funds to go on speaking tours in wealthier first-world countries to do "fund-raising."

The Global Nomad, has often informed me of these worthy operations and wondered what I could do to give them some international attention on the web - all in the hopes that generous hearts and minds would take up their cause and help out. This site is a result of our brainstorming.

So I've begun to produce full-length web-pages describing some of these worthy causes as simply and vividly with the photos they send me. We call these Profiles. As we have time we'll continue to add more Profiles in this part of the site. Please look them over and if you sense a prompting to help them out, do not hesitate to reach out a generous hand.

Searchlight Orphan Care in Malawi, Africa - Pastor Duncan Nyozani has been introducing his orphanage in Malawi, West Africa to me. What impressed me first was that this man is not only passionate about helping his orphans, but he is articulate and has thought through some important dyamics about raising funds for the orphanage Instead of always holding out a hand for support from "rich Americans", Pastor Duncan would just like enough help to start up some enterprises that the orphans could handle. Then over some time they could be a self-sustaining ministry. . . .READ MORE
