TGD Services: Our Profit Arm Gets Some Focus.
We are so excited to announce that Shanker Karpe has joined the Trinity Global Development team. Shanker is developing the business model for the new for-profit arm called TGD Services. We are so excited to welcome him! His knowledge, skills, and his abilities will be a great benefit as we move forward towards the consulting business that will help fund the medical clinic and computer lab. Sarah Rivers will oversee the billing for TGD Services. She is training on the accounting software now. She will be going to Kenya with Steve and Stephanie on May 27th along with Medine Watson, Doug Tyler, and Anita Nenonen. Welcome Shanker and Sarah!
Now is the Time to Purchase Items for the Computer Lab!
We are working diligently to ship many items. We had a snag with the paperwork for the official NGO status in Kenya. We’ve had to start over again. Now it should proceed smoothly and be finished within the month. Now is the time to purchase items for the computer lab because we are preparing the shipping container. We can fill it with your donations and get them to Kenya! Donations from literally change the reality of the people in need. Scroll down, BUY so the industrious can LEARN and WORK!
We Have T-Shirts for Sale!
Special Purchase: We purchased a very luxurious soft t-shirt and got a super cool graphics design from The Sanctuary Printshop. (See attachment to email for a sneak peek.) Order for yourself and as gifts for those you love. They are high quality t-shirts in chocolate brown or heather gray with a shield logo graphic on the chest. WOW! Only the best people will have them. YOU!  Come pick one up for $20 or we’ll mail it to you for $25 in Small, Medium, Large or X-Large.
Second Floor Going Up on Trinity Global Development Community Facility
Building Update: You are changing LIVES! You are directly connected to the people in need. Walter says that the progress is remarkable. They are almost putting up the slab for the second floor. He asked me to, “Please include the fact that it has continually touched lives. It has been a source of livelihood to most families.”
Orphan Sponsorship On Hold
Well, I think the orphan program is going to be put on hold even though it is featured in the videos I made for TGD. We do not have a system of oversight created. Obviously, the time is not right. When we can be certain about the children in need, their circumstances, their guardians, and someone watching over the administration of the money—we will proceed. I know many of you are poised to sponsor a child and several of you have chosen that certain child. I hope that when I get everything ironed out, that you will have the flexibility to begin then. Until then, please give to a general fund for TGD, which will benefit the whole community. I will proceed with orphan sponsorship when I can guarantee the program. I am confident that the time will come!
God Encourages Us!
Steve went to the hospital for knee surgery and God sent him two Kenyan nurses! One woman is from our area and speaks a Luhya dialect, Maragoli. We are so thankful to have met Jackie and look forward to partnering with her for the benefit of her people!
Determined To Donate Somehow—God Made A Way!
Anita has been blessed by those who determined that they would give something. She tell us: “One friend saw on my Facebook page that several pastors in the Cornerstone churches need transportation and that I was collecting money to provide bicycles for them. She determined that she would donate $100, which would cover one bike, even though family funds are less than usual at this time. Within a day, she was cleaning out summer clothes and found $100 she had forgotten she had.
A group of ladies in the Southern Illinois area have sponsored an orphanage in India for several years and when they saw that we are trying to provide bicycles for the pastors, they sent $100 because they have provided Indian pastors with bikes in the past and understand the need.
One friend’s company moved out of the area and she is unemployed. It was time for her unemployment benefits to end. When she saw the need for the bicycles, she really wanted to help but had no provision to do so. She told the Lord that if He would provide, she would send me $100 each for each additional benefit check she got until I leave to go to Kenya. That afternoon she got word that the benefits are extended and now she can provide two pastors with transportation!
Another friend really wanted to help by providing sewing machines to the women in the Cornerstone churches. Many people have come to the Lord by first coming to see the machines in the churches. The machines provide many of the women with a way to provide for their families. I told her that I wouldn't be able to take the machines that she owned for several reasons-- so she sold them and was able to provide $500 which will buy two machines and notions and material to get them started. We are BOTH thrilled!”
Together we are all making a tremendous difference in the lives of others.
