Generosity-alive and warm in Your Heart Gives more Effectively when Your Mind is Informed and Discerning - Helping Your Heart

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.

Bread of Life

Bread of Life’s aim is not to be unique but to be effective. The goal of BOL is to help the poor and helpless in Romania physically and spiritually. 10 years ago Bread of Life’s founder Cecil Pagel established an orphanage in Brosteni, Romania at the request of the town’s mayor. Prior to the orphanage there was no humane option for local orphans some of whom were found locked in a room.

Searchlight Orphan Care in Malawi, Africa - Pastor Duncan Nyozani has been introducing his orphanage in Malawi, West Africa to me.

Then over some time they could be a self-sustaining ministry. . . . READ MORE
