Benjamin Erwin, A Joyful Man of God

This is Benjamin. He is almost 6 years old and a preaching machine. Ben likes to help me at work, and he does very well at his AWANA. He will be 6 in August and will officially begin 1st grade at his homeschool. Ben loves trains, running track, playing basketball, drawing pictures, and reading books.

We are looking forward to teaching Benjamin all of his subjects and especially the Word of God. One day we hope to take Benjamin to Asia, where he can see the villages that are still waiting to hear the Gospel of Jesus Christ. As a family we can help bring the blessing of God's Word to many that have not heard about our Lord Jesus Christ.

There is hope for today

Welcome to our new blog! As we serve at the ministry of Servant Christian Community Foundation (http://www.servantchristian.com/), we are often constrained by time to keep a consistent newsletter while at the same time sooo many things are happening. The vision of Servant Christian Community Foundation is to "Create a Culture of Generosity," and we are able to accomplish this task through several different means.

#1 Helping ministries process noncash donations.
#2 Setting up Donor Advised Funds within our foundation.
#3 Hosting several events each year, such as the Thurman Mitchell Leadership Awards, Generous Giving Conferences, Ministry Forums, Grant Writing Workshops, and Donor Retreats.
#4 We have completed and now are using a web portal called iDonate.com (http://www.idonate.com/) and are busy telling as many ministries as we can about this tool.
