Program Description:
A 2-story multi-purpose building targeting homeless, poor, indigent women from all walks of life, but not limited to:
- Widows
- Women living with HIV/AIDS
- Women from polygamous marriages

- Retail & business management
The women’s center is a critical functioning center relying solely on the Word of God for intervention and Biblical counseling. The women will be provided a safe place for rehabilitation, education and skills training. The women’s center will be likened to a “rescue center”. With access to education, skills training and biblical counseling these girls/ women will transform their community not only on the level of women finding themselves, but also as a whole culturally. The impact they will have on the younger children at Smile Africa Ministries will become a ripple effect reaching out much farther than we could anticipate. Ongoing Bible studies and women’s conferences will be held under the direction of Pastor Ruth Kahawa, founder of Smile Africa Ministries. Rehabilitation will be provided at no cost to the women enrolled, and a sponsorship program will be set in place for the girls/women enrolled for skills training equipment, i.e. sewing machines, library books, etc.

Program Long-Term Success:
The purpose of this project is to provide an educational facility which will cater to the homeless, the orphan, the illiterate adults while making housing available in exchange for services rendered while living in the learning environment. Pastoral training will be ongoing and those in the program will be required to do internship within the complex, training and teaching the children, while preparing for ministry within their own local villages. By providing employment to locals who will tend to the maintenance of the premises and buildings, they will also be able to take classes to learn to read, equipping them for jobs that will support their own families. The local team will live on the complex and oversee the work and cycle of education as the students are brought in and graduated out of the program and sent out to pursue further education or accept jobs for which they have become qualified. Ultimately, we plan to see a true cycle develop which will enrich the local community and have a snowball effect as more locals hear about the program and get involved, with the program becoming self-sustaining and no longer in need of outside funding.
Program Short-Term Success:
It is of paramount importance to get the children off the streets and provide them with a stable Christian environment where they are safe, fed, clothed, and educated. It is of equal importance to provide jobs in the local area for men and women who are able to work with upkeep and maintenance of the facilities and grounds. Once these positions are in place and operating smoothly, we will see success, meeting our short-term goals within our prescribed budget.
Program Success Monitored by:
Our local team members will carefully monitor the progress of the plan, carefully budgeting each phase against a prescribed plan adopted by the Board of Directors. Monthly reports are received by local team members showing details of expenditures, results from the expenditures, and identifying areas where additional funding might benefit the progress of the program. Once the step-by-step plan is adopted by the Board, regular updates and regular communication with local team members will quickly reveal areas that need tighter control, more planning, or readjustment of short-term goals.

Military Heritage Bible

$25,000
- Category:

Religion
- Population Served:
-
Military/Veterans
Program Description:
The Military Heritage Bible will be provided free of charge to all military personnel upon request. Complete with the official Preambles for all 50 States in the USA highlighting the use of “Almighty God” or similar title of the God of the Bible in each preamble, the new Soldiers Pocket Bible will focus on the heritage of faith and the importance of the chaplaincy in the US military as far bck as the American Revolution. This new publication will also include the facsimile reprints of the original Soldiers Pocket Bible which will be presented either in the front material or in pamphlet form to be inserted into each copy, reminding the reader of the precious heritage of the Word of God in the military throughout our nation’s history.
Quotes about the Word and historical Christians from an array of people like Sir Isaac Newton, George Washington, Napoleon, Albert Einstein, Winston Churchill and other notable leaders will be interspersed throughout the Bible with corresponding, pertinent verses as well as back material. A special directory for spiritual support services specializing in complementing standard care for PTSD will also be included inside the back of each Bible to provide soldiers who may be struggling with links to the care and assistance they require.
Publication date projected for May 30, 2011, by WorldNetDaily Books. This special Military Heritage Bible will be available in various sizes to accommodate military requirements and the general public.
As always, Bibles and study materials will be made available free of charge to any who request them. Copies of the Military Heritage Bible will also be obtainable at a discounted rate by interested churches, ministries and groups.

Program Long-Term Success:
Because Soldiers Bible Ministry (SBM) has an ultimate goal of providing spiritual and emotional helps to pre-deployed, deployed, and post deployed soldiers, the Soldiers Pocket Bible Heritage Edition will be factored into the national program of qualified experts via internet networking, connecting Veterans and their families with local support. In addition to providing spiritual help leading to emotional stability, SBM's ultimate purpose is to use the Soldiers Pocket Bible as a means to achieve the goal of healthier men and women reentering society after war, leading to a sharp decline in post-deployment suicide and crime, healthier families, and more stable communities.
Program Short-Term Success:
By closely interacting with as many chaplains and individual troops as possible, the Soldiers Pocket Bible Heritage Edition will highlight military pride, foundations of faith, and a sense of participating in a military that is rich in heritage and faith. Increased morale on the bases (overseas and stateside) based on a renewed understanding of this nation's heritage will immediately begin to restore hope for a future despite the challenges men and women face in the military.
Program Success Monitored by:
A communications campaign is in place to interact personally with men and women in uniform and veterans to offer encouragement and provide them with Bibles and Bible study materials that resonate well with the military.
Program Success Examples:
Although we are currently using a standard-issue NIV complete Bible purchased from Biblica International, we have had hundreds of military men and women share their appreciation for the material we offer along with the Bible. The feedback has been phenomenal and which will ultimately explode with the new publication as the reader realizes the rich heritage of faith in the US military.
