Two for Tuesday - September 29, 2009
So, tired of long, boring blogs that tell you everything and nothing? Get ready for a change. Starting today, I'm sending out "Two For Tuesday" every week. It won't be a laundry list, just two things that I think are important to share with you! So here goes...

CHANGE THE WORLD, ONE CHILD AT A TIME
Join Belinda Jane Ministries in our quest to change the world, one child at a time -- Our goal is to find sponsors for 480 orphans over the next 12 months. We are currently at 11 children sponsored. Help us to fulfill this goal. There is a child waiting for you to "love on them" today! Remember that a group (your youth group, ladies Bible study, family at large, Awanas, Sunday School Class, etc.) can sponsor a child together. For example, if there are 10 women in your ladies Bible study group, it would be $3 per person per month...Or you can sponsor a child yourself! It's only $1 a day or $30 a month. Click here to choose the child that is waiting for you!
LET ME PRAY FOR YOU!
Let me pray for you! I'm filling in a calendar to include you! Prayer is powerful. It's been said to "move mountains." If you have a "mountain" that needs moving, just send me a day that you'd like me to pray for you. It could be your birthday, anniversary or even just tomorrow. I want to fill up an entire year's calendar with prayer partners. That's 365 days of praying! I'll send you an email the day before your prayer day, just to let you know that I'll be thinking of you and sending a special word for you to the Father. It would be cool, if on your special day, you'd pray for me too... It will keep us connected on both ends...Just email belinda@belindajaneministries.com

HOLT International
In keeping with my mission to help other ministries, I have recently become an affiliate with Holt International. Holt International is a Christian organization dedicated to finding families for the world’s orphaned and abandoned children. They have been helping children for over 50 years here in the United States and abroad. My responsibility as an affiliate of Holt is to procure child sponsorships for children coming into the program. Child Sponsorship is the bridge of love that cares for these children until they can be returned to their birth parents or placed in a loving home. All of the children in Holt Sponsorship programs have either lost their parents or are at risk of losing their families. They often come into Holt’s care weak and frail…malnourished due to illness or poverty.
o Healthy food and nutrition
o Safe and secure living environment
o Clean clothing
o Routine and specialized medical treatment
o Loving and attentive care
Sponsorship is extremely affordable commitment at $30 per month or $1 a day.
Many of the children in Holt’s care will eventually be reunited with their families or adopted. Once your sponsored child has either been reunited with their birth family, or placed with an adoptive family, you will be assigned another child that needs your support. Many child sponsors have sponsored 5, 10, 15 or more children.
As a sponsor, you’ll receive the following:
o Regular progress reports and photos of your child
o Opportunity to send special cards and letters to your child
o Holt International magazine
This month, I have 42 children that need sponsors. It is imperative that we find sponsors for all of these children. Below, you will find some pictures of the children needing your help. These children need your help right now. There is no time to waste. You sponsorship will help some of these children return to their homes and others, put into foster care until they are adopted. It is imperative that we find sponsors for every child. Email me at Belinda@belindajaneministries.com and I will send you the information you need to sponsor a child.
It's that easy and the rewards are eternal! Every morning, when I go into my kitchen, I see a picture of ANDREA, my sponsored child from Romania. I am so blessed to be a part of her life and thankful that God gave me the faith and resources to give.
I know times are hard, but remember this...we are in the richest country in the world. We always have clean water to drink and a place to go to the bathroom. We are blessed with beautiful homes and cars. Our children go to great schools, have shoes on their feet and an ipod or cell phone in their pocket. DO SOMETHING to help those that will never have these things. This ministry is dedicated to making a difference in people's lives, here and abroad. Won't you make a MOVE to help?
NEW PROJECT: "MOVE"
Most of you have been asking “When are you going to record another project?” The answer is…we’re working on it. I just signed a recording contract with Andrew Carlton, AMC Studios in Nashville. Andrew is awesome producer, songwriter and artist and has shared the stage with artists such as MercyMe, Michael W. Smith, Rebecca St. James, Jars of Clay, Newsboys and Audio Adrenaline. Andrew’s single “Jesus Hold Me,” hit radio in spring of ’07 & in only weeks, it broke the Billboard AC Top 20 and went on to become the highest charting single by an indie artist in 2007.
The working title for the new project is "MOVE." I’m very excited to have Andrew as a producer and I can’t wait for you to hear the new songs!
So here’s the deal…I am an independent artist which means that I pay for my own production and promotion. Most folks have no idea what it takes to prepare and pay for a recording project. The preparation is unreal…writing and arranging songs. Fortunately, that is the cheap part. The production, however, is not cheap. A ten song project can cost close to 20K. At $15 dollars per cd…that means an artist has to sell over 1300 units just to break even. The last project we did, we sold about 1000 units. We gave away about 250 units. You do the math.
So what I’m getting at is this…I need support from my fan base (the folks that in some way have supported this ministry). That’s you! I am asking for YOUR help!
Will you make a commitment to donate at least $5 or $10 a month to this ministry? Your donation will help us continue the work that God started several years ago. It will not only help produce more music to reach more souls, but it will help us to support more ministries in need.
So you ask, "How do I donate?" Well, the easiest way is to send me an email and belinda@belindajaneministries.com and I will forward the options to you.
