Bradenton, FL (Sharewellnewswire.com) August 16, 2012 - Today, James Miller was interviewed by a premier online media organization Global Talk Radio.
The discussion focused on how www.GlobalMissionforChildren.org was founded. GMFC was founded after James’ good friends Pastors’ Wilson and Andrea Westphal returned from a two week mission trip to serve alongside friends of theirs on the island of UNO off the coast of Guinea Bissau. You can listen to the interview here. He explained the there is not nearly enough food, diseases that are killing 24,000 people which equates to 800 people per day in Africa alone,75% of these deaths are children. James states “These deaths are the equivalent to 100 fully loaded commercial flights crashing in one day killing everyone on board. There would be non-stop press coverage and action would be taken immediately to remedy this horrible problem. Well in essence that is what’s happening and for the most part it goes unnoticed and not nearly enough is being done about it”. He explained the missionaries in detail stating Jose &SirleneElison arrived on the island 8 ½ years ago with their 1 year old son. This in an incredible act of kindness and their dedication and strength comes directly from God. There is no way one could serve on a desolate island in the middle of the ocean on their own strength without blessings from God. They have given up their entire life to serve these forgotten souls. They have built 6 schools, 6 churches and a small un-sanitized medical room where they help medicate 10-40 people each and every day. Jose Elison states “unfortunately there is simply not enough money to help all the people that are hurting. Most all these deadly diseases are curable and for just a few dollars these precious children can live a healthy life. I have a background in medicine as I graduated with t nursing degree”. His wife Sirlene had a degree in teaching and has been instrumental in education 465 children on a daily basis from preschool to the 5th grade. “We need much more money to educate these children through high school so they can lead a productive life for the very 1st time in the history of Guinea Bissau”, Niger and Nepal. GMFC is unique as 100% of all donations go directly to their mission fields to help children that are starving, diseased, lost and enslaved in Guinea Bissau & Niger Africa and Nepal Asia. The poorest countries in the world. What James explained is in one word Unbelievable. He used an example of a horrible witchcraft cult where Mothers, Grandmothers and Aunts bring their 12-15 year old little girls to waiting men in the forest where they perform horrific acts. Rapes, beatings branding and total brainwashing are some of the rituals performed. When the girls return from these “rituals” you can see in their eyes they are broken and brainwashed. The girls also must do all the work like fetching water, which in most cases is 25 pounds, from the well and carrying it long distances. The men are in total control. GMFC is changing this as we bring people to Christ.
James discussed how the mission was founded and how the dedicated founders are funding GMFC out of their pockets and explained the grave statistics about the continent of Africa. He also noted they have just broke ground on the nearby island of Formosa. They are building a church and a school and are using the model from the island of UNO to serve the people on this island. For the 1st time these people have someone that really cares about them and you can see their eyes light up as they have hope for the first time in their lives.
The goals of GMFC are having all 600 children sponsored by the end of 2012 and thousands more on the 18 remote islands off the Guinea Bissau coast by the end of 2013. GMFC offers a “child sponsorship program” where the donor can donate $1 per day to help these children. It does not seem like a dollar per day would help but food only costs 20 cents per meal, rice and beans, and a teacher’s salary is $100 per month. That is a great salary considering the average person in the regions GMFC serves the average income is well under a dollar per day.
