Deuteronmy 15:
7 If there be among you a poor man of one of thy brethren within any of thy gates in thy land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not harden thine heart, nor shut thine hand from thy poor brother:
8 But thou shalt open thine hand wide unto him, and shalt surely lend him sufficient for his need, in that which he wanteth.
10 Thou shalt surely give him, and thine heart shall not be grieved when thou givest unto him: because that for this thing the LORD thy God shall bless thee in all thy works, and in all that thou puttest thine hand unto.

The Bible tells us in many places that all Christians have a responsibility to care for orphans and widows. In addition, the Word also says if we do "open our hand" to provide for those who can't care for themselves, God will bless ALL our works and everything we put our hand to!  That's God's promise to you.

If you are not already giving to a ministry that provides care to orphans and widows, please prayerfully consider becoming a partner with White Stone. Your gifts are tax deductible since White Stone is a 501(C)(3), non-profit organization. We commit to pray for our partners and we firmly believe that you will be blessed abundantly for your generousity.

We have found that from time to time, ministry teams look for work projects to help orphanages or other missions efforts. If you or you church group would like to invest some time, energy & expertise in helping us on our seemingly never-ending mission to make a functional as well as beautiful home for the children, then please let us know and we can talk about scheduling a time that is convenient for your group to come. Also, we can even assist in securing very inexpensive overnight housing in a ministry compound close by. Below you will see some of the issues we need assistance with.

We have an exciting new opportunity which can be a great blessing to our ministry. With very little effort you can help us reach many people with whom we can share our story.

So many people are always telling us of how they wish they could help us more. Many folks have little or no finances that they can help with.  Others who are regular supporters often say they wish they knew how to help more. Well, now we have a program that everyone who chooses too, can use that can bring much-needed funds into the Children's Home without investing a dime.

We do not have the funds to develop large advertising campaigns or buy lots of media time to promote our ministry, but by using this system, the 200+/- folks who receive our newsletters, should they choose to create their own fundraising page, can send the link to their contacts and in a matter of days, several thousand people will read about our ministry and will have an opportunity to bless the children.  By creating your own personal FirstGiving page representing White Stone and sending it to people you know, you will be spreading the word to folks that we could never reach, but who might just be looking for a way to bless some wonderful children. You will be partnering with White Stone to take care of the children and it's fast, easy and painless...but the rewards are eternal!

The company that does our credit card processing, FirstGiving.com, has a unique program that allows individuals to create their own personal fundraising page that represents White Stone and the Children's Home. Let's say that you would like to look into this exciting new system. 90% of the work is already done. You would simply go into the FirstGiving website using the link below, and follow some very simple instructions to add text and a photo. On that page you can say what is on your heart concerning the orphans or give your testimony regarding your visit here if you have ever visited us. You can also use your own photo. It is up to you...it is your page. It just a few minutes your webpage is completed and within moments it is active online.

Now you can email the link to your friends, family, business contacts and all your other email contacts. You can put a link on your website, if you have one. Your link can be posted on FaceBook and Twitter and other social media websites. With very little effort and the involvement of some of our supporters, we can reach a great number of people in a very short time. The information concerning White Stone and The Children's Home is already linked to your new personal page so it is easy for a interested people to check us out.  If they choose to make a contribution, they simply hit the "donate" button and you have helped bring more support to the children. That is what partnership is all about...helping not only in finances but in other available creative ways to advance the ministry. As the ministry advances...we are equipped to reach out to more children.

Please take a few moments to check out this great opportunity...it will cost you nothing but a little time, but as i said earlier, the rewards can be eternal!
