Greetings precious friend and supporter of Global Family Outreach Ministry,
If you are new to our monthly newsletters, I send these newletters to inform you of our recent month’s activities. For everyone else the information in this newsletter may be a repeat of what you already know due to your following us on social media like Facebook, or Twitter, and other social media sites. As I asked last month, PLEASE don’t discard or ignore the newsletter, because everything I will be sharing with you throughout, is indeed, important.
If you were unaware, the Philippines during September was hit with a major typhoon with major flooding at all nine of our feeding programs located in Aklan, Negros Island, Cebu Island and Bohol Island. When photos and videos started to trickle in from all areas to my social media feeds, my heart immediately began to sink. I quickly began to pray for all 360 children at our feeding programs along with their family members as well as the pastors and teachers and their families as well. I was so blessed to eventually receive reports that those same pastors and teachers went out in the floods and heavy rain to look for the children to ensure that they were safe! They risked their own lives to find those kids! Praise the Lord they were all found safe! Only one feeding program could not feed the children because of the severity of the floods. That was at our Bohol Island feeding program. The remaining weeks of the feeding programs were successful and the vast majority of children fed, both the word of God as well as physical food. Praise the Lord for that!
It appears it was also our turn to experience a typhoon here in Florida in September. Hurricane Helene came through and once again, I spent a great deal of time in prayer for us. Fortunately, the Hurricane did minimal damage here and praise the Lord, we also, survived.
Regarding finances for the month of September, another praise to Jesus as we met our financial goal so we can feed all the children without scrounging for pennies to see them fed. I want to personally thank you if you donated to help these kids. They have been suffering a lot, not only because of the typhoon, but several months of seeing their family members or friends contract Dengue Fever of Monkey Pox diseases.
Christmas is coming, we have no plans to send gifts, or raise funds for gifts because of past months of not making our financial goal, or barely able to do so. I however, do not want to dissuade you from making a donation for gifts for the children. 360 children are many, and it would require perhaps $1,000 or more to give each child 1 gift.
Thank you again if you blessed the children in September to help the poor kids. Please, If you have never, or haven’t in some time sent a love gift to bless the children and their families that we serve, please help and also indicate where you want your donation to be placed. We have many programs to be a help and blessing to all whom we serve. Thank you

August 2024 Global Family Outreach Ministry Monthly Newsletter
Hello friend and supporter of Global Family Outreach Ministry, this is our August update for you, informing you of our recent month’s activities. For some of you, the information in this newsletter is a repeat of what you already know due to your following us on social media like Facebook, or Twitter. If this is you, please don’t discard or ignore the newsletter, because I have some important updates for you.
First, as you may also be shaddowbanned/become invisible to other accounts like we are very often on social media, we have expanded our outreach to Pinterest, Instagram, GAB and Parler. We have done so not only to inform others of the wonderful and Biblical outreaches that we provide, but also expand where we ask for donations. As always and in the past, I have promised you, I do everything possible to raise financial support, and help those as we are able, especially to help spiritually and physically feed the hundreds of poor children each week at our GFOM Poor Children’s Feeding Programs.
This brings me to share with you that all throughout the month of August, our number eight-replacement feeding program in Cebu went smoothly and an average attendance of 3032 to children weekly. In fact, sadly, we had to turn some children away. Just not enough donations are coming in to allow for those children to attend. The newest, number 9 GFOM Poor Children’s Feeding Program based on Bohol Island was set to have their evangelism outreach the last week of August, but unfortunately, we were forced also to push that event back one week.
As of the writing of the newsletter on September 1st, we fell exactly $150 short for our monthly fundraising to feed the children. During and in August, we were also short on donations and only had enough in donations for the operation of 5 of our feeding programs. If we do not receive the necessary $150, we will again not be able to afford to operate all 9 of our feeding programs. There will only (barely) be enough for 7 programs to operate. Jorlyn and I are now paying other expenses outside of just food for the kids. There are the usual fees including for ink, paper, office supplies, stamps, annual website maintenance bills, etc. so you are paying only for food for the kids.
Beyond financial difficulties that we have due to low donations to purchase the food for the poor children, many of the pastors or teachers located where our GFOM Poor Children’s Feeding Programs are, they are asking for your prayers please. There has been a sharp increase this year in children and adults being infected with Dengue Fever and also Monkey Pox. Your prayers and financial support are very much asked for.
As always, we want to once again share with you how very, very much we
appreciative you who have donated to help these poor and malnourished
children. We have no plans to stop and hopefully and through God’s grace and
your donations, recover what we need for last month, and every month forward.
We are grateful to the Lord for your continued love gifts throughout 2024. Thank
you so very much!
If you have never, or haven’t in some time sent a love gift to bless the children
and their families that we serve, please help and also indicate where you want
your donation to be placed. We have many programs to be a help and blessing to all whom we serve. Thank you
