LifeNets works with with Ambassador Bible Center
to distribute aid at United Church of God's
General Conference of Elders in Cincinnati May 4-5, 2003

For the third year in a row LifeNets has worked closely with Ambassador Bible Center's Outreach and Service Programs to distribute aid to poor areas of the world. The efficiency is that ministers from the needy areas attend the annual conference and return home with suitcases full of humanitarian items.  We were glad to be able to give away most of everything we displayed.

Special thanks for ABC Service Committee head Cindy Gore who organized the distribution tables. She did a wonderful and job and was very easy to work with. Thanks also to Tom Peine who drove an entire van of  to Cincinnati for distribution. He stores many LifeNets items in his Indianapolis warehouse. 

Wheelchairs were brought from our Pittsburgh, PA LifeNets group which went quickly. The Phoenix, Arizona churches brought five full suitcases of highly demanded white shirts and personal items that went mostly to Latin America..

Other items such as Lightwave flashlights from Chris and Angela Moen were taken to the four corners of the world. We were able send hundreds of eyeglasses, personal care items and much more. These items went to the Philippines, Tonga, Colombia, Peru, Guatemala, Kenya, South Africa, Malawi, Zambia and West Africa. At the GCE we were also able to give cash grants of more than $10,000 for scholarships, habitat and livelihood development in Latin America as well.

ABC will be doing a benefit fundraiser with LifeNets on July 13th in Cincinnati for our Developing Nations Scholarship Fund that is currently sending more than 25 young people to universities in Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador, Colombia and Peru.

To all those who helped, a big THANK YOU  for your continuing contributions.  All contributions are tax-deductible and go directly for the projects.
