Franciscan Works

Franciscan Works is dedicated to breaking the cycle of poverty for the poorest of poor children in developing countries through education rooted in Gospel values in the spirit of St. Francis of Assisi. We develop the individual potential of children living in poverty so that they can live as God intended, making full use of their talents and abilities for the common benefit, in communion with God, nature and all humankind. Liberia Mission, Inc., located in West Africa, is the primary project of Franciscan Works. Liberia Mission is a community of love, learning, work and prayer. Here, children who were poor or orphaned - survivors of Liberia's long and brutal civil war - are learning to become future leaders in their families, communities, and country. We believe in "empowering the children of Liberia through faith and education."

Christian Cosmetology Association International

The Christian Cosmetology International Association is a 501(c)3 non-profit outreach ministry to the Beauty Industry. The mission is to pray, intercede, and to empower Cosmetologists physically, mentally, financially, and spiritually to achieve their highest level. To support Cosmetologists who are physically and or mentally disabled due to accidents or mental illness. To provide living benefits, which include terminal illness, critical injury, chronic illness, and pre-need cremation, funeral, and burial plans. To help Cosmetologists plan and prepare for a solid future by offering life insurance products and retirement strategies for legacy building. To equip Future Professionals with the tools needed for Growth and Personal Development for a successful career. To support the Cosmetologists who have special needs by giving back to the lives of individuals who have unselfishly shared their gifts and talents to beautify and edify the world. My passion for the Beauty Industry began over 50 years ago when I acquired my cosmetology license. My vision became clear when I accepted the call from God to attend the Apostle Frederick K C Price School of Ministry. Upon graduation with honors, I received my ministry license and ordination from, the late, Apostle Frederick K. C. Price and my Honorary Doctorate from St. Stephens Bible College. Ultimately, my profession and ministry were ordained to assist Cosmetologists in successfully orchestrating their lives and careers to ensure they avoid burnout and do not end up mentally, physically, financially, and spiritually bankrupt. After I became a licensed insurance agent, it made me aware of the importance of Cosmetologists planning ahead for a healthy and secure future. Statistics say that 50% of Americans retire broke because of improper preparation. I have personally experienced the pitfalls of being unprepared for the inevitable. Meaning that your body can only withstand so much trauma and misuse before it breaks down physically and mentally unless it is been cared for properly. To live in harmony with a balanced lifestyle, your spiritual, physical, mental, emotional, and financial stability are all learned and practiced good behaviors. That can only be taught by an expert like myself who lived through the ups and downs of my life and career as a Beauty Industry Professional. My vision is clear for the (CCIA)Christian Cosmetology International Association. It is a marketplace ministry whose purpose is to serve Cosmetologists and Beauty Industry Professionals as an opportunity to fulfill the calling of God upon my life and ministry. My goals are to use my experiences, gifts, talents, and skills collectively to enhance, enrich, empower, and impact the lives of Cosmetologists worldwide. Mark 16:15...Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature (cosmetologists)...John 8:31 You are my disciples indeed. We welcome, thank you, and appreciate your prayers and financial support. Love Joy and Peace, Dr. Stella Spicer Founder Est. 1987-2022 Website: www.christccia.org

Sisters Of Providence Of Saint Mary Of The Woods

The Sisters of Providence were founded in 1840 in West-Central Indiana by Saint Mother Theodore Guerin and her five sister companions from France. Their mission was to bring the gift of education to the young people of the wilderness and to serve as witnesses of God's love. They set about these tasks with great faith and determination, succeeded in establishing schools and orphanages, tending to the sick among their neighbors and sharing the light of God's Providence with whomever they met.Now, in modern times, the Sisters of Providence have expanded their mission to include non-traditional forms of education outside of the classroom. Today you will find the sisters educating the public about environmental and social justice issues, serving as chaplains in prisons and hospitals, providing homes for foster children, advocating for the homeless and rural poor, operating food pantries and a free medical clinic, and counseling families and the elderly. Wherever there is need of God's healing and love, a Sister of Providence will serve.

HABITAT FOR HUMANITY INTERNATIONAL INC - BLOOMINGTON

In Monroe County, Indiana, a person earning minimum wage must work 72 hours every week of the year to afford a two-bedroom apartment.

Habitat for Humanity of Monroe County’s mission is to eliminate poverty housing by building simple, decent, affordable homes in partnership with qualifying families. Habitat homeowners pay interest-free, no-profit mortgages, which are used to build more habitat houses. Because houses are principally built with volunteer labor, mortgage payments are affordable for low-income partners. Habitat qualifying families, or partner families, are selected based on their need for housing, ability to repay the no-interest mortgage and willingness to partner with habitat by earning 250 hours of “sweat equity” or volunteer time. Through the work of thousands of volunteers and organizations, habitat for humanity of monroe county has built approx. 170 homes.
