Have you ever considered donating to a charitable organization, but were a little hesitant because you weren’t quite sure where your money was going? And yes, I am about to ask you for money. I understand your hesitation. Therefore, I’m giving you the chance to donate while seeing how every single penny of your donation is spent.
Some of you know I’ve been going back & forth to Ethiopia the last couple of years and I’ll be going back soon. And some of you have asked me what I do while I’m in Ethiopia. Here’s the long and short of it. I go visit widows & orphans and ask them what they need, and I get it for them, if I can. And when I say need I mean need: food, clothing, & shelter.
For example, some of you remember a video I did with a young man named Mulugeta. He was wearing about a size 7 shoe, but needed an eleven or so. We made sure Mulugeta got money for shoes. We paid Mimi’s rent for a year. We also bought food and clothing for Ayu and her family. Another missionary helped buy bunk beds for Metasebia, who had been sleeping on an earthen floor with her older uncle.
So this time I had the bright idea that maybe you might want to get in on some of this good giving action. If you make a donation to help provide for widows and orphans on my upcoming trip to Ethiopia, any time I use any of your money, my camera will be with me & I’ll show you exactly where all of your money is going. So if you’re interested, hit me up by June 5th and I’ll get you the details.
Peace & Thanks,

Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men. (Luke 2:14) Have a very blessed day, celebrating the wonderful coming of our Great Lord and King, Jesus the Christ.
When you’re debt free, you can give like you’ve never imagined. This is me in October 2010, visiting some orphans in Ethiopia. We spent over 60 hours just traveling, but the reward is eternal.
Jesus said, 31 ?“When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, ?then he will sit on his glorious throne. 32 Before him ?will be gathered ?all the nations, and ?he will separate people one from another as a shepherd separates ?the sheep from the goats. 33 And he will place the sheep on his right, but the goats on the left. 34 Then ?the King will say to ?those on his right, ‘Come, you ?who are blessed by my Father, ?inherit ?the kingdom ?prepared for you ?from the foundation of the world. 35 For ?I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you ?gave me drink, ?I was a stranger and you welcomed me, 36 ?I was naked and you clothed me, ?I was sick and you ?visited me, ?I was in prison and you came to me.’ 37 Then the righteous will answer him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink? 38 And when did we see you a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you? 39 And when did we see you sick or in prison and visit you?’ 40 And ?the King will answer them, ?‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these ?my brothers, you did it to me.’ 41 “Then he will say to those on his left, ?‘Depart from me, you ?cursed, into ?the eternal fire prepared for ?the devil and his angels. 42 For ?I was hungry and you gave me no food, I was thirsty and you gave me no drink, 43 I was a stranger and you did not welcome me, naked and you did not clothe me, sick and in prison and you did not visit me.’ 44 Then they also will answer, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to you?’ 45 Then he will answer them, saying, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did not do it to one of the least of these, ?you did not do it to me.’ 46 And these will go away ?into eternal punishment, but the righteous ?into ?eternal life.” The Holy Bible : English Standard Version. Mt 25:31-46.
