WHAT DOES JESUS WANT FROM US, REALLY?


Well, for one thing, start by watching these clips of Larry Norman, where he shares his heart on some particularly important issues. See if his words can encourage you to want to help someone, because that's obviously very important to Jesus.





Well? What do you think? I've seen this before, and it struck my heart with fear that I was one who would be asked: "Did you feed Me? Did you clothe me? Did you help me when I was sick?", and so on, and not having done that..

Now there's another opportunity coming your way to help someone completely helpless.
You see, people; I was on a trip to Thailand exactly ten years ago, and there I saw beggars and poor people everywhere.. I eased my conscience and lightened my wallet a little, but for these people, just a few Bath is enough to accomplish much.

A few Bath, enough to install a sink with running, fresh water in Thailand, is the same amount of money that we spend in a day to pay for parking-space for the car while we're shopping. It's what the materials for a pig-pen cost. It pays for a blackboard and chalk, paper and pencils.. Well, you know what I mean.

Some friends of mine that I grew up with are actually now living in Thailand, and the poverty down there actually has started their hearts bleeding. Heavily.

There's orphans without a home, because there aren't enough money to take them in, like this little boy suffers under..



There's orphanages for children with their parents dead from AIDS, and they've passed it on to their children. Guess who made the AIDS spread down there? If not you personally, it could have been, if you see my point.



This little boy has got HIV in his blood.. Do you want to help him?

In short: You can't imagine how they suffer, until you see it with your own eyes..

SO MY FRIENDS HAVE FORGED A PLAN, AND WE'RE AT IT..

The plan is to set up a site where you can go and donate a little money, simply by charging your PayPal account. Maybe more options will be added later. We've decided on sponsoring and drifting the site ourselves, and everything that goes into the PayPal account will be used exclusively for helping people that receive no government support or any other sponsoring from other institutions what so ever.

NOTHING WILL BE USED FOR DRIFTING THE SITE OR EVEN FOR AS MUCH AS A BUS-TICKET OR A PEPSI, ONLY FOR GETTING THE HELP WHERE IT'S SUPPOSED TO GET: THE CHILDREN.

It'll ALL go to what you donate for.

My friends live down there, and will personally supervise it, make sure that the money goes to the children. Not just for food, but for making it possible to live under circumstances that make them able to sustain their own existence. You know: "Give a man a fish, and he has food for the day. Teach him how to fish, and he has food every day".

There are many people involved in making this a reality, from all over the world. I want to mention "Doc" from one corner of the world to "RaJah" in another corner, who have been and will be working to make the technical bit working; server/domain and web-design + being the good friends they are, and helping to encourage and support and correct. Not to mention the "ground-crew" in Thailand of course, who had the idea in the first place, and will do the actual pulling when the tech-bit is ready so you can become "PayPals". You have got the power to make this a reality, people!

We will set up this site in a while, and I'll put a link to it in this blog. The site will be simple at first, but then one day, we'll see other pictures and new videos coming onto the site, as the work progress, and my guess is that the images will shift from being like those above, and becoming more like this one..



By the grace of God, and your two cents..
