Have you ever felt like you wanted to do something great for God, but didn't know what to do? This is for all the people that ever thought " I can't make a difference."
My friend Angel in Texas has something exciting to tell you about. I haven't been able to see this video in Doha (YouTube is not working here), but it will introduce you to something she and her husband and good friends have been working on for a long time. www.redletterscampaign.org is a unique website that connects people with a desire to give or to go or to help, with organizations, individuals and resources to do these things. It is much more than a website. It is people standing ready to support, encourage and challenge you. They are still in the beginning stages with this and are looking for people to partner with them to make this website great....Read more details on Angel's blog www.thevoiceofadventure.blogspot.com .
One of the most exciting things for me, is they are working with an organization called Children's Hopechest to start a long term orphan's ministry in Ethiopia. You know by now I have fallen in love with Ethiopia and I believe that Children's Hopechest can make a huge difference in the lives of orphans there. Hopechest is already working in Russia and Swaziland. Tom Davis, the president of Hopechest, wrote the book Red Letters: Living a Faith that Bleeds, that inspired RLC. The more I learn about Hopechest, the more I love them and the ministry they have for children.
This is what the folks at RLC have to say about their mission:
"We at the Red Letters Campaign (RLC) believe that YOU have the power to reduce extreme poverty, fight preventable disease and connect orphans with loving families. Our mission is to provide you the tools and a network of partners and like-minded people that enable you to be an active part of the solution - the way you want to participate.
RLC is a different kind of non-profit designed to support you in your passions - not the other way around. Whether your passion focuses on the HIV epidemic in Africa, providing safe drinking water to Central America or finding homes for children without families in India, we can connect you to people and resources that help you make a difference in the way that you desire.
Whether you’ve just recently become aware of the challenges faced by the orphaned, widowed and extreme poor or have already rolled up your sleeves and joined the front line, the Red Letters Campaign will connect you with the people and resources you need to turn passion into action."
