At least that’s what press release says. See the article that our Uganda correspondent found at… http://www.nytimes.com/2010/11/27/business/27charity.html?_r=1 If you search for your own record and don’t find your agency, the website says not to sweat it. They probably just haven’t had time to evaluate you yet. You can *request* that they do so, if you [...]

That’s what you get from these sites: https://trainandmultiply.com http://paul-timothy.net/ We’ve mentioned them before in Brigada, but it’s been a while.

There’s just one more week of giving left in 2010. Yikes — we’ve got a ways to go. If you or your church can jump in, please do so today. Approach your church, ask a friend, or pray that God would empower your finances to pitch in directly. Any amount would help, but all we [...]
