Friends in Christ, 2 months before Fr. Sebastian Vechookaroottu visited Singapore. He is the director of Penuel and Emmanuel Ashrams (Home for abandoned mental patience and drug addicts) in Thampalakkadu. Some of them asked him the same question Berly asked. "Whom should I give?". Hope you can also find something from his answer.
Every place in Kerala have at least one orphanage or charity organization. Just locate one or two near your home town and help them. If every one help like this all these organization in Kerala will not have financial problem. Currently what happens is all the money is going to some very famous evangelization centers and they are becoming rich while most others suffering for their daily bread. So, give a fixed portion of your share for your hometown and the rest for others Praise the Lord Wilson Thomas Singapore ----- Original Message ----- From: "Berly Earnest" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, January 31, 2003 4:50 PM Subject: [JOYnet] Tithing - whom should I give ? > Dear Enthusiastic Netters, > > I too would like to add few more things on tithing. > In our prayer group - there is one chettan who has > been supporting us with his tithing since past few > months(more than a year).
