We Need You!
The Smiles Foundation has grown significantly in the past years to
an Organisation with an annual budget of approximately £1 million
($1.5 million) for Operational and Development costs in 20 projects
impacting 1,500 people, predominantly children, every month.
How can that happen?
1.
The
POWER
of God
2.
The PRAYERS
of His People
3.
The amazing
SUPPORT
of volunteers
As Founding Trustee and CEO of the Foundation, I
believe passionately, with my fellow trustees and staff in the
POWER
of God. We have experienced it and recognise it in our daily lives and
work. Without it, we would be nothing.
I have
also discovered the paramount importance of
PRAYER. We live or die by it.
Thousands of people around the world praying for all we do and the
evidence is clear each day with the people who are touched and drawn
closer to God by the
POWER
of
PRAYER
through the work of Smiles.
In all
the years of leading the Smiles Foundation, I have been acutely aware
of the significance of volunteers. People who give their time, talents
and resources to enable the maximum to be achieved from a
TEAM
effort. We could never achieve on our own, what we can achieve as a
TEAM. People who share a similar
passion, come with all sorts of gifts and abilities. By pooling them
together – we see greater results and are able to recognise all is
done to the Glory and Honour of God.
For
many years, Smiles has been supported in the field by a
wonderful team of volunteers in
various capacities.
Could
you help us in one of these areas. We
have an urgent need now.
Pray
about this and see if the Lord puts on your heart a desire to help in
one of these areas:
Could you be an
Ambassador
Link:: People to
help support the Foundation through Promotion, creating Exposure and
greater Fund-Raising in their own community, amongst friends and
family at home, school, work or
community group.
Could you be a
Business
Link:: Get your
Business to support the Charity. Maybe an employee or group of workers
who want to do something to help the charity and needs the Business to
assist.
Maybe a
Church Link::
Encourage your church to take a positive step in response to the
‘Great Commission’, encouraging them to get involved in Mission
Support, Church Challenges and regular Mission Trips
and Fundraising.
Or even a
Development
Link: Develop
returning Mission Trippers to move to the next level of support for
Smiles. Develop New Contacts – in Business,
Churches, Schools, Community Groups and such like. Develope
Media - to create the wider awareness of Smiles through Newspaper,
Radio and TV.
Possibly an
Educational Link:
Schools and Nurseries across the country have made enormous
contributions to the Smiles Foundation especially in linking local
schools with our own
School in Tileagd, Romania. We need Teachers and Heads to partner with
us to provide quality education to some of the most vulnerable
children.
