James Miller of Global Mission for Children.org, a nonprofit organization funded by the founders, was interviewed on Global Talk Radio.
Bradenton,
FL (Sharewellnewswire.com) August 16, 2012 - Today, James Miller was
interviewed by a premier online media organization Global Talk Radio.
The discussion focused on how www.GlobalMissionforChildren.org was
founded. GMFC was founded after James’ good friends Pastors’ Wilson and
Andrea Westphal returned from a two week mission trip to serve
alongside friends of theirs on the island of UNO off the coast of Guinea
Bissau. You can listen to the interview here.
He explained the there is not nearly enough food, diseases that are
killing 24,000 people which equates to 800 people per day in Africa
alone,75% of these deaths are children. James states “These deaths are
the equivalent to 100 fully loaded commercial flights crashing in one
day killing everyone on board. There would be non-stop press coverage
and action would be taken immediately to remedy this horrible problem.
Well in essence that is what’s happening and for the most part it goes
unnoticed and not nearly enough is being done about it”. He explained
the missionaries in detail stating Jose &SirleneElison arrived on
the island 8 ½ years ago with their 1 year old son. This in an
incredible act of kindness and their dedication and strength comes
directly from God. There is no way one could serve on a desolate island
in the middle of the ocean on their own strength without blessings from
God. They have given up their entire life to serve these forgotten
souls. They have built 6 schools, 6 churches and a small un-sanitized
medical room where they help medicate 10-40 people each and every day.
Jose Elison states “unfortunately there is simply not enough money to
help all the people that are hurting. Most all these deadly diseases are
curable and for just a few dollars these precious children can live a
healthy life. I have a background in medicine as I graduated with t
nursing degree”. His wife Sirlene had a degree in teaching and has been
instrumental in education 465 children on a daily basis from preschool
to the 5th grade. “We need much more money to educate these children
through high school so they can lead a productive life for the very 1st
time in the history of Guinea Bissau”, Niger and Nepal. GMFC is
unique as 100% of all donations go directly to their mission fields to
help children that are starving, diseased, lost and enslaved in Guinea
Bissau & Niger Africa and Nepal Asia. The poorest countries in the
world. What James explained is in one word Unbelievable. He used an
example of a horrible witchcraft cult where Mothers, Grandmothers and
Aunts bring their 12-15 year old little girls to waiting men in the
forest where they perform horrific acts. Rapes, beatings branding and
total brainwashing are some of the rituals performed. When the girls
return from these “rituals” you can see in their eyes they are broken
and brainwashed. The girls also must do all the work like fetching
water, which in most cases is 25 pounds, from the well and carrying it
long distances. The men are in total control. GMFC is changing this as
we bring people to Christ.
James discussed how the mission was founded and how the dedicated founders are funding GMFC out
of their pockets and explained the grave statistics about the continent
of Africa. He also noted they have just broke ground on the nearby
island of Formosa. They are building a church and a school and are using
the model from the island of UNO to serve the people on this island.
For the 1st time these people have someone that really cares about them
and you can see their eyes light up as they have hope for the first time
in their lives.
The
goals of GMFC are having all 600 children sponsored by the end of 2012
and thousands more on the 18 remote islands off the Guinea Bissau coast
by the end of 2013. GMFC offers
a “child sponsorship program” where the donor can donate $1 per day to
help these children. It does not seem like a dollar per day would help
but food only costs 20 cents per meal, rice and beans, and a teacher’s
salary is $100 per month. That is a great salary considering the average
person in the regions GMFC serves the average income is well under a
dollar per day.
