My Day Job

The other day someone mentioned that they had always thought my paid job was the World Orphan Fund. Actually, I earn a living as a political consultant during the day.

Fact is, we have no paid staff at all. We're all volunteers. What's more we have no overhead, we pay for our own travel, the costs of raising money, hosting the website, and everything else that's not a specific project  --- out of our own pockets.

We're not seeking praise. That belongs to God, His grace makes what we do possible. But it is an important reminder that when you make a donation to the World Orphan Fund, 100% of every donation goes directly into helping orphans around the world.

We've visited 30 orphanages, met over 3,300 children and we've raised about $750,000 to fund some life-changing projects. It's a blessing to be able to connect donors with needs.

If you've already donated, thank you for all of you've done to make what we do possible. If you're considering making a donation we have much to do this year and we need your help. I can guarantee that you will make a real difference in the lives of some amazing kids. Here's a link to donate.
