To Whom It May Concern:

I’m a pastor at Desert Oasis Fellowship in Indio, CA. We have been in the valley for 6 years outreaching to the community around us in many ways. We love to “take it to the streets” with a 20 ft trailer we personally own that folds out to a stage.  Along with providing free BBQ, snacks and drinks, we also bring instruments, songs, testimonies, puppets, clowns, games, and lots of prizes.  We also have two yearly events: one at Easter with a 2000 Easter egg hunt and another at Harvest Time with a carnival atmosphere to keep the kids off the streets.  We are actively involved with two major homeless shelters here; Martha’s Kitchen- we host children’s service once a month, bible study once a week and provide rides to church every service with two vans. Coachella Valley Rescue Mission Center- we host weekly bible studies and provide rides to services as well.  All of these events are sponsored by going out to local business and requesting donations to help with the community.  What ever is not covered comes in house where the people freely give many times what they don’t have.

Currently we are leasing three suites in a commercial building two being the main sanctuary, pastor’s office and nursery.  The third is our multi-purpose building which is our main classrooms and sanctuary for kdz JAM! 
We still have needs to complete the main sanctuary in the first two suites consisting of paint, baptism and actual walls for our nursery estimated around $5000.00.  The kdz JAM in our third suite is our recent expansion which we don’t have the money to build the classrooms we need. It’s estimated about another $5,000.00 for that.

We have always leased our buildings and have a great desire to build our own. For this to reach reality first we would need property.  At this time we have access to foreclosure property for around $100,000.00 this would allow funding for us to get a contractors loan to build.  I also have my Contractors License, and have the ability to save us lots of money on the construction side.

We are also in need of some more sound equipment about 4 cordless mikes, Church Computer, Duplicator for cd’s, We have two 15 passenger vans with over 345,000 miles we need tune-ups and new tires!

Thank you for your time and consideration!

The Audrene Scism Children’s home is a haven of hope for orphaned babies and children who are brought through its welcoming gates.  This refuge is situated in the town of Kolasib, which is located in the state of Mizoram in northeast India.  Although a great deal of the town is primitive, the community of people are the kindest, most gentle people and they are very proud of the children’s home and the help it brings to the children who are in such desperate need.  A few years ago, I made the journey to Mizoram via a flight from Bangkok through Calcutta and then into this restricted, government-controlled country of India where I made the 2 hour drive to the CIA in order to first be fingerprinted and photographed before going any further.  I hired a professional taxicab driver and for the next 8 hours (no exaggeration) I hung onto the top, bottom and sides of the cab.  The roads are winding and curving and lead straight up through impossible mountain passages.  In many places, there is a three foot gravel shoulder which drops down thousands of feet below with no guardrail in between the cars and the drop.

When we finally arrived and I saw those little children, it was worth all of the effort.  The children in the orphanage are so beautiful and they range in age from newborn babies up through high school.  What was totally overwhelming to me is that every one of them was nurtured, cherished and well cared for.  They receive an excellent academic education and they are also socially prepared for the time that they will eventually take their place in the outside world.  Currently, there are 50 orphans and 300 students in the boarding school.  Since there are no government programs which financially support orphaned children, the Audrene Scissom children’s home is funded solely through private donations.   Its future plan is to expand the facility in order to allow room to accommodate more children and take in more orphans and monetary donations are very welcomed and appreciated.

I have visited many orphanages in my life and this orphanage, by far, is the most impressive because of the special love, care and attentiveness that is shown to these children.  In other orphanages, there seems to be a shortage of staff and not enough comfort to share with all of the children, but at the Audrene Scism Children’s Home, the staff is so warm and it is as if these children belong to them.  It would be an amazing and fruitful investment to make a monetary donation to this Haven and to these beautiful children.

Nancy J. Grandquist

RBC FOUNDER M. R. De Haan was a physician who later in life became a pastor—well known for his gravelly voice and impassioned Bible teaching. His commitment to ministry was to lead people of all nations to personal faith and maturity in Christ.

So in 1938, from a small radio station in eastern Michigan, Detroit Bible Class was born. Suddenly the spiritual doctor was making house calls—to hundreds of thousands of Scripture-hungry listeners.

Even though he was an unlikely radio personality—with a rough, authoritative voice—the program worked to great effect. And Dr. De Haan’s heavily underlined reflections on the Scripture quickly became a source of biblical wisdom for many. In response to his teaching, listeners asked for transcripts of the broadcast for use as study materials. These resources, soon in great demand, were the precursor of today’s widely distributed Discovery Series booklets.

From this spiritual foundation, the Grand Rapids, Michigan-based ministry continues to build upon the foundation of Dr. De Haan’s vision and work. With commitment to the biblical principles set forth on the pages of this brochure, RBC Ministries today offers teaching resources to millions worldwide. While Dr. De Haan began this ministry in his basement as a family operation, today the Lord has brought together a staff of over 300 Christian workers in our US headquarters.

The ministry has international offices in 20 countries plus partners throughout the world who distribute RBC resources. Our signature publication, the daily devotional called Our Daily Bread, is translated into nearly 30 languages.

RBC Ministries changed its name from Radio Bible Class in 1994 to reflect the growth of services and resources we offer to friends worldwide.

RBC LEADERSHIP

Faithful to our purpose for more than 60 years, RBC continues to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ to people of all nations, helping them grow in Christlikeness and in the knowledge of God’s Word.

Mart De Haan, grandson of M. R. De Haan, currently leads the ministry. Through growth and many changes, RBC continues its commitment to Dr. De Haan’s founding principles.

Dr. De Haan was a leader who is remembered as a real man of God who loved the Lord and loved teaching His Word.

Richard De Haan, often called “the encourager,” was committed to faithfulness to God’s Word and to integrity as a ministry. His favorite expression was “Trust in God and do the right.”

Current President Mart De Haan is known for his kindness, his concern for doctrinal accuracy, and for communicating the Word of God in a way that’s clear and to the point.

About the Press Democrat Newspaper

The very first newspaper in Santa Rosa, the parent of today’s Press Democrat, was begun in 1857, just three years after Santa Rosa was chosen as the seat of Sonoma County and seven years after California became a part of the United States.

Called the Sonoma Democrat this newspaper was a four-page weekly. Its name reflected the politics of the Santa Rosa and Russian River valleys, which were settled in the 1840s and ’50s by farmers from Missouri, Kentucky and Tennessee.

The founding publisher was Alpheus Russell, a merchant with some newspaper experience who came to open a general store on Third Street. John Taylor, a prosperous rancher south of the new town, encouraged Russell to establish the paper, giving him a five-dollar gold piece for the first subscription.

At the end of a year, Russell sold the paper to printer E.R. Budd, who sold it again in 1860. The new owner was Thomas Thompson, a young Virginian who had edited Petaluma’s Sonoma County Journal five years earlier at the age of 17.

Thompson was a supporter of the Southern cause and conventional wisdom of the time said that Democratic party money, perhaps Confederate money, helped Thompson buy the paper to oppose the election of Abraham Lincoln.

Thompson and Samuel Cassiday, the Republican editor of the Petaluma paper, carried on a Civil War of words, in which Thompson was victorious.

Lincoln did not carry Sonoma County in either 1860 or 1864 elections.

Thompson played a major role in politics in Santa Rosa, the state, and later as U.S. Amabassador to Brazil. He sold the Sonoma Democrat in 1897 to Ernest L. Finley, owner of The Evening Press who merged the two papers and renamed the new publication The Press Democrat. Finley also bought The Santa Rosa Republican, the paper’s long-time competitor, in 1927. Ernest Finley’s wife, Ruth, was very much a part of the affairs of the newspaper. She encouraged him, also, to establish radio station KSRO in 1936. Control of the newspaper and radio station passed to Ruth at his death in 1942. read more »

 Google’s mission is to organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful.

As a first step to fulfilling that mission, Google’s founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin developed a new approach to online search that took root in a Stanford University dorm room and quickly spread to information seekers around the globe. Google is now widely recognized as the world’s largest search engine — an easy-to-use free service that usually returns relevant results in a fraction of a second.

When you visit www.google.com or one of the dozens of other Google domains, you’ll be able to find information in many different languages; check stock quotes, maps, and news headlines; lookup phonebook listings for every city in the United States; search billions of images and peruse the world’s largest archive of Usenet messages — more than 1 billion posts dating back to 1981.

We also provide ways to access all this information without making a special trip to the Google homepage. The Google Toolbar enables you to conduct a Google search from anywhere on the web. And for those times when you’re away from your PC altogether, Google can be used from a number of wireless platforms including WAP and i-mode phones.

Google’s utility and ease of use have made it one of the world’s best known brands almost entirely through word of mouth from satisfied users. As a business, Google generates revenue by providing advertisers with the opportunity to deliver measurable, cost-effective online advertising that is relevant to the information displayed on any given page. This makes the advertising useful to you as well as to the advertiser placing it. We believe you should know when someone has paid to put a message in front of you, so we always distinguish ads from the search results or other content on a page. We don’t sell placement in the search results themselves, or allow people to pay for a higher ranking there.

Thousands of advertisers use our Google AdWords program to promote their products and services on the web with targeted advertising, and we believe AdWords is the largest program of its kind. In addition, thousands of web site managers take advantage of our Google AdSense program to deliver ads relevant to the content on their sites, improving their ability to generate revenue and enhancing the experience for their users.

To inspire and nurture the human spirit— one person, one cup, and one neighborhood at a time.

Here are the principles of how we live that every day:

Our Coffee
It has always been, and will always be, about quality. We’re passionate about ethically sourcing the finest coffee beans, roasting them with great care, and improving the lives of people who grow them. We care deeply about all of this; our work is never done.

Our Partners
We’re called partners, because it’s not just a job, it’s our passion. Together, we embrace diversity to create a place where each of us can be ourselves. We always treat each other with respect and dignity. And we hold each other to that standard.

Our Customers
When we are fully engaged, we connect with, laugh with, and uplift the lives of our customers— even if just for a few moments. Sure, it starts with the promise of a perfectly made beverage, but our work goes far beyond that. It’s really about human connection.

Our Stores
When our customers feel this sense of belonging, our stores become a haven, a break from the worries outside, a place where you can meet with friends. It’s about enjoyment at the speed of life—sometimes slow and savored, sometimes faster. Always full of humanity.

Our Neighborhood
Every store is part of a community, and we take our responsibility to be good neighbors seriously. We want to be invited in wherever we do business. We can be a force for positive action— bringing together our partners, customers, and the community to contribute every day. Now we see that our responsibility—and our potential for good—is even larger. The world is looking to Starbucks to set the new standard, yet again. We will lead.
