Born into Brothels
It's such an inspiring story for our ministry. If you haven't seen it, you're truly missing out. You can search online and watch it for free on youtube.
I was so excited to see one of the main characters (Avijit Halder) hold on to his talents and continue his education. You can read his story here: From a Calcutta brothel to a New York university
We dream of seeing one of our girls get this far! I know it's possible, we just have to stay focused. Pick a Pocket really needs help with administration. We'd love to set up scholarship programs as well educational programs for children in Ethiopia and India. But that's where you come in. We need teachers, disciples, people willing to give their time to these children. And especially someone who knows how to manage finances and organize a non-profit. This is where living in America makes sense. One day it will happen. But right now it seems as though that is thousands of dollars and hundreds of people away. So we will continue to rent our small homes in Ethiopia and give our small amount of time and huge amount of prayers to the women and children in Brothels across Mumbai.
How I would love to see this girl with an education and not living on the streets of India
The movie continues to bring Hope to Children in Calcutta. Visit their website: Kids With Cameras

Your tithe could end poverty
Shane Claibourne is one of my heroes. I first heard about him several years ago when a friend went on tour with him and his book Irresistible Revolution. The book changed my life. If you watch one video this week, I ask you watch this one. There is a way to end poverty in our generation and all it takes is you. Your tithe. God called us to live in community. Acts 2 tells us how to do it. Listen. Live.

Africa, Water, and Hippos
This is not about Pick A Pocket, but is something that I personally support. It's called the Hippo Water Project.
Its about helping children, women, and workers getting more bang for their sweat. It helps transport larger amounts of water in an eco-friendly way. It's simple. The cavemen thought of wheels, the Hippo Project thought of round tanks small enough for kids to push to their final destinations. I just think of how much easier this would be for so many of the children I met while in Africa who get up before sunrise everyday to provide water for their families. These children, mostly orphans or are the youngest of 12 or maybe 15 other family members, have to carry heavy buckets back for their family's supply everyday. It's a grueling task that something this simple could help relief millions, even if it would just cut down 2 or 3 days of work, that's an extra day for a child to play with his friends. To sleep and get enough rest to complete his/her 8 hours of sleep.
for the rest of your day I challenge you to see how much water you use. my friends from the Karo tribe have to hike half a mile to carry back their pales, much of the time smaller than a shoebox. think of how much time and effort could be saved
just a thought and don't forget to check out their website http://www.hipporoller.org :)
but first check out this super cute video about the Hippos produced by Peter Macomber!!!
