Dear Rev Themi friends and supporters,
I have recently returned from the USA, where I met Fr Themi who was invited to speak at a "ARCHONS" retreat on the East Coast of the US.
The trip was successful, in terms of raising awareness for EBOLA ORPHANS and the building of a EBOLA ORPHANAGE, however, Fr Themi still faces the challenge of keeping the "Doors Open" so to speak.
Talking globally, Fr Themi, via Paradise 4 Kids - AU and Paradise 4 Kids - USA, have less than 350 monthly donors in total:
These monthly donors contribute a minimum $20 each,
- Raising in Australia, less than $5000 AUD of the necessary $8,000 USD (today 10,500 AUD) needed every month to keep the Mission running. ( feeding programmes, salaries for workers and teachers, operating costs, gas, electrical etc excluding college)
and
- Raising In the USA, less than $3000 USD of the necessary $4000 USD needed every month to keep the Teachers College running. (salaries for college teachers and lecturers, operating costs of the college only)
Every Month this shortfall is met by family members of the committees in Australia and the USA;
every month we scramble to make ends meet, so that Fr Themi can continue, without interruption,
the work that God has instructed him.
There is a misconception, that Paradise 4 Kids is some large and connected organisation; but in truth,
we are less than 15 volunteers (worldwide), working to help the poor by supporting Fr Themi and his work,
and we at Paradise 4 Kids pride ourselves, that 97.8% of all funds raised are distributed to Fr Themis mission,
so that we can fulfill the commandment and gain the promise that Jesus, our Lord and savior gave us in Matt 25:34
‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. 35 For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36 I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’
I know and understand, that many of you like to give one lump sum when attending functions and fundraiser, and we ask you to continue doing so, but a small monthly donation will help Fr Themi budget for the year;
Fr Themi has over 2000 facebook friends and over 2000 email friends and supporters, we all here at Paradise 4 Kids ask you all to consider going online and joining us in a regular donation of just $20 every month (or more if you can), so that Fr Themi may continue his work in one of the poorest countries on the planet.
