HINT admitted into Generous Giving Network

by Leave a Comment

Helps International has been admitted into the Generous Giving Network. What does this mean?

Generous Giving is a privately funded Christian ministry that seeks to encourage givers of all income levels—as well as pastors, church lay leaders and others—to experience the joy of giving and embrace a lifestyle of generosity, according to God’s word and Christ’s example. It was launched in 2000 by the Maclellan Foundation to stir a renewed, Spirit-led commitment to generosity among Christians. Generous Giving does not solicit donations.

Through the Generous Giving Marketplace (the world’s largest searchable database of faith-based funding opportunities …) verified and approved Christian churches and nonprofit ministries can post funding opportunities which can be viewed and possibly funded online by thousands of donors worldwide.

We can post as many projects as we want but we must pay US$ 45 per project for it to be visible to donors. This is where we need you to come in. If you will like to pay for one or more projects to be visible, please contact us. Thank you.

Tinshu wins lone scholarship for GSBI 2006

by Leave a Comment

The GSBI is ending today and we have all been invited to the closing dinner offered by the University. University professors and staff of the GSBI and friends are present. The atmosphere is quite relaxed and everyone is feeling free going to the table for their food. The food is truly American and truly delicious.Genesis shakes hands with Prof. Jim

Everyone now seems to have finished up with food. Prof. Jim, one of the major GSBI staff is up and has started awarding certificates and gifts to the Social Entrepreneurs. The award session is punctuated by much clapping as names of ‘Social Entrepreneurs’ are called. The session is over and each Social Entrepreneur now has a certificate of participation and a glass shield containing a group photo of the Social Entrepreneurs and the GSBI faculty. Jim is still standing up as though he still has some else to say.

Then he begins: Dear friends, you for the past few years, we have been trying to establish a scholarship fund for the GSBI have not been successful. However, this year, we were able to get ONE scholarship for the GSBI and we have decided to award it to TINSHU GEMUH of Helps International, Cameroon. The scholarship will help him pay his flight from Cameroon to Santa Clara and back.

The whole hall is cheering and one can read surprises on many faces. Tinshu stands up to go have a hand shake with Jim and he is completely overwhelmed with surprise as well as he never expected such an award.
