Why we do what we do?

First, I'd like to ask your prayers for two new cases recently opened. I'l also be asking your prayers for a new agency we are opening under Silent Ministries called The National Association of Child Protectors. We...you...will learn to work with Law Enforcement, Social Services, and other agenices, churches, pastors, and individuals and larn how to protect our hildren, addrss these issues that are falling between the cracks in today's budget cuts.

When I give you this testimony you will understand more and more why we need chapters across the country, why we do what we do, and what makes us tick.

First, one of the cases involves two sisters in Florida who are going without medical care, food, clothing, and are about to be dispossessed of the only security they had left, their home. Why? Becuase "daddy" refuses to honor his court ordered child support as well as key elements of the order.

The second case involvs domestic violence. A mother 's ex boyfriend went on a shooting rampage in a jealous rage here in Georgia close to us. He's beaten her severely and has threatened to kill her when he gets out of jail. I cannot disclose many details at his time but gfolks they need your prayers.

Go to the law? She did. The law told her that there is nothing they can do about the threats UNTIL and UNLESS he actually hurts her. We are quietly working on this case. We need your prayers and support to help this mother and her's and ex-boyfriend's new born son.

We are seeking volunteers to help us write letters. We will furnish you the letter material and words. We are seeking individuals who will help us man a fundraiser booth for about four hours. We also need to begin training new comers in investigations and advocacy. Government agencies are over loaded, understaffed, under financed, and under caring. Through a national organization we can train you. Yes, there will be a cost but the cost is not as great as the cost if we do nothing. PLease pray about beginning a chapter in your home.

We are preparing a kit that will give you the idea of what you are looking at.

PLEASE, take a look at the new members who have joined Silent Ministries. These are caring people and they are growing stronger everyday. If you have no church home and need an outreah church we can bless you through Silent Ministries Church Outrach. If you need a fellowship for your children we have Silent Ministries Youth Outreach.

If you need clothes, food, child support, if you have consumer issues, we can help you. If you know a child who is going to testify in court about abuse or domestic violence and he or she needs protection or encouragement contact us.

Love you all so very much and thank you for your prayers and support. PLease help us this month with the expenses incurred by helping these children.

Oh, by the way, the agencies who promise to help these children will be helping them. If we have to file a writ of mandamus in a court of equity in order to sue for these kid's well being we will.

In the mean time we need to help them as much as we can.
