Childrens charities are arguably one of the most important areas of fundraising. Many children we support throughout the world need your support to help protect them or give them a better quality of life.
With age comes various physical,social and mental disorders.
MSM are dedicated to the support care and wellbeing of the elderly.
Companies can also do their part to donate, raise awarenes and support, all with the benefit of GIFT AID.
PLEASE, it dosent take much to make a difference to the children and people that are really in need. |

Alaska's Mount McKinley
Gary Chapman |
 I am about to tackle Alaska's Mount McKinley - to raise funds for for my wifes charity in The Philippines (PCF) and my good friends Rick & Gillys' charity (MSM) in India.
Supporting our overseas partners: PCF (Philippine Community Fund) & MSM (Mustard Seed Ministries) I have self funded all my costs so EVERY penny of your support goes to the charities (80% of all funds raised will go to PCF and 20% to MSM. Would you consider supporting me by: Making a donation?
McKinley is a pretty daunting place. The highest mountain in North America, McKinley is one of the Seven Summits at 6,100 metres (20,320 feet) and probably the coldest mountain on the planet.Because McKinley is only a few hundred miles below the Arctic circle I will, at times, be experiencing temperatures down to minus 40 celcius and 100 mph winds. For this reason, climbing Mt McKinley combines the challenges of high-altitude climbing with those of a polar expedition. Add to that the necessity of carrying a 70 litre backpack plus dragging a sled of equipment for 2 weeks and you can see how worthy a challenge it will be. We get dropped off on a glacier by a small aeroplane with skis - Hike to base camp with snow shoes - set up 4 further camps - then (hopefully) attempt the summit. The biggest dangers will be falling down icy crevasse's of 100s of meters deep, the Freezing cold and the dreaded and unpredictable Altitude Sickness. Historically; 1 in 2 climbers on this mountain do not reach the summit, 3 out of every 100 die trying. I have been training like crazy for the last four months - climbers typically use 4,000 - 5,000 calories a day on such an expedition I fly to Alaska on April 27. Summit day should be between May 12-15 A big thank you for all your support since my last climb up Mt Blanc in 2009 for the same charities.

Hey you guys
Hope you are well and blessed?
It's a week now since I came home and I am back to the grindstone! Just finished work but emailing you before I leave the office! I went to Iligan not sure what to expect. Would the city be devastated and destroyed with need and anguish on every corner? Would I be overwhelmed? In reality, nothing much looks any different on the surface. You would really hardly know there had been floods except for the occasional property that's not been cleaned out and all the driftwood that seems to be everywhere (apparently all the massive logs got taken by the govt shortly after).Its only when you speak to people and ask that you realize the sheer terror of what happened just before Christmas. Whole families were drowned in their beds. Children were swept away and drowned or found dead in the waters. People I know told me heart breaking accounts of their terrifying ordeals.Then when you visit some of the areas where many homes were destroyed and you see what happened to concrete houses and the main new bridge, you get a feel for the power of the flood waters. And when you visit the tent cities where 1000s of people live without elec or sanitation and as yet no real hope from the govt of a new home..they talk of red cross grants for 50k or 70k pesos but no one got one yet! And how hot is it under canvass when its 34 degrees outside?? I prayed with people and for people. For sure there is need but mostly I saw people used to life struggles just trusting God and getting on with their days. I saw Stephen and Sonia and their family really loving and helping kids and families both in their neighbourhood (feeding on Saturday morning) and at the dump (feeding on Monday morning). This totals some 300 kids approx. and there is some real good kids and real needy kids and really hurting kids included (and all sorts of other kids too I guess!). Their new worship centre and home is just great. It is a nice size upstairs room with kitchen and 3 beds/2 baths off it. Its spacious and airy with a nice balcony. They are in just the right place too. The neighbourhood is apparently where the shaboo is made and sold (crystal meth) for all of Mindanao. There are lots of kids with parents in jail for this. I guess the world has plenty to tempt a young man or woman with if they have no work or education... And the kids at the dump and their mums were just so pleased to see Stephen and Sonia and Adrian and Aiyleah. You can really see the love going both ways. Christs love. |
