As you know, I am traveling to Cambodia in just a few more weeks to minister to women and girls who are at risk of, or have been formerly trafficked. The organization I am traveling with is CGI (The Center for Global Impact) and I am SUPER EXCITED about a new campaign they are launching called The Copper Club - unleashing the power of change.
I'm excited about it for 3 main reasons:
1. Everyone can join the club!
2. You will significantly impact the lives of the poor!
3. God will be glorified!
So just what is the Copper Club? ... Thanks for asking!
The Copper Club is a group of 1000 individuals (that's the goal) who are willing to give 1000 pennies (that's the copper) per month in order to empower the poor and bring glory to God. (In case you don't feel like putting on your thinking cap, that's just 10 bucks a month!!)
You know how most people won't stop to pick up a penny anymore? We don't really value our copper, do we? Well, sadly, most people don't really value the poor and needy in our world, either. Too often, we just look the other way and go on indulging ourselves without even realizing we're doing it.
Starbucks, anyone? Pedicure, much? Cable TV subscription? Ten bucks can give you unlimited texting on your cell phone, but it will give FREEDOM FROM OPPRESSION to a real, live young lady in Cambodia. Just TEN BUCKS.
My personal goal is not to find all 1000 of you - I am simply looking for TEN of you who are willing to commit to the Copper Club in the next 24 hours. Your commitment will enable CGI to continue their work in Cambodia where they truly EMPOWER women and girls by teaching them a valuable trade. These ladies then earn a living, gain self-confidence, and are free from the bondage of poverty and the risks of being trafficked. Even better than that is the exposure to the life-changing love of Jesus Christ through CGI - and through YOU!!!

I would appreciate it so much if you would comment on my blog, facebook page, send me an email, etc. to let me know you've joined the Club! When you make your first donation, you wil be added to CGI's e-newsletters and will have the joy of receiving updates about how your "copper" is unleashing the power of change in the lives of Cambodian women and girls.
Together we can carry the love of Christ around the world!
