Alex Harb, who I affectionately call the "Headmaster" of Christianity and Real Estate, has been a blessing to all of us in this business who love the Lord and our privilege to be called Christians.  One of Alex's efforts to promote the Christianity theme in our business was to begin a "Giving to Those In Need" initiative.

The first "benefactor" of the initiative was one of our favorite Christian organizations, Teen Challenge of Northern Nevada.  Although the total contribution was modest, $190 from Christianity and Real Estate, it was nonetheless a beginning.

We have supported Teen Challenge of Northern Nevada for the past four years, and encourage others in our Christianity and Real Estate family to consider supporting this ministry.  T.C., as we affectionately call it, helps heal broken adolescent boys and mend their families.  In addition to a healing of body and mind, there is a spiritual renewal in these boys.  Moreover, the boys attend Teen Challenge High School, licensed by the Nevada Department of Education to confer a High School diploma to boys who successfully complete their high school studies at Teen Challenge.

If you want to support this ministry, you can send your donation to the following address -- all deductions are tax deductible, and you'll receive a printed receipt from their business office recognizing your contribution.

Teen Challenge of Northern Nevada, P.O. Box 1136, Sparks, NV 89434

And we (myself and Dr. John) say: THANK YOU & GOD BLESS YOU, ALEX (hope the move is going well and you'll get back in the pilot's seat)!

Tom and Diane --

We are seeing miracles in the boys every week.  Sometimes they are little and sometimes they knock you over.  Our daughter, Sarah, a college graduate in economics is also touched by the ministry and tutors the boys in algebra, geometry, and trigonometry.  If you know any Christian-based ministry, the ongoing challenge is keeping them funded.  We are blessed to be part of the ongoing support for this ministry and welcomed Alexis' efforts to help out as well.

Here's a wonderful charity idea for the benefit of children.

 

You can help a child while promoting your own brand.  Forte Promotions, a promotional products company, is offering to give a charitable gift of your choice for every $500 that you purchase.  Three charities have been chosen to receive the donations:

 

Toys for Tots primary goal is to deliver, through a charming new toy at Christmas, a message of hope to needy youngsters. A Teddy Bear will be given on your behalf.

 

Greater Minneapolis Crisis Nursery works in partnership with parents in crisis and the community to strengthen families and prevent child abuse and neglect. A toddler or youth sweatshirt will be given on your behalf.

 

Simpson Housing Services provides shelter and affordable housing with support services to homeless men, women and children and assists individuals and families in their effort to improve their life situations. A fleece blanket will be given on your behalf.

You can participate in this endeavor by contacting http://www.fortepromo.xn--com%20or-rgaa/  or calling 877-997-7799 for your promotional needs ranging from executive gifts to imprinted shirts, calendars, and pens.
