WESTSIDE OUTSIDE THAILAND - A Project of Westside Christian High School Students and Staff
We are developing a learning experience for Westside students. In addition to providing a service learning experience for our students we will also be making a multi-faceted commitment to Remember Nhu and Grace Ministries, Thailand. We want to own the responsibility and blessing of raising funds to support facility development and ongoing expenses of expanding their ministry.
Commitments:
-We are committed to raising funds for the development of the Grace Ministries site so they can provide housing and support to at risk children.
-We are committed to taking on the responsibility of supporting a large portion of the operating costs of the growing ministry.
-We are committed to sending our people to support the educational, physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of the children and those who work with them all year.
Prayer
Please join us in praying that God will use this opportunity to impact the lives of children. We believe that our God is big. We believe that He could use children in Thailand and Oregon to change our world.
Partners:
Remember Nhu- This Christian non-profit organization will provide support to the school as a liaison between us and Grace Ministries. They will also serve as a consultant, helping with trip planning, and handle administrative functions. All support that is generated for Grace Ministries will be directed through Remember Nhu.
Grace Ministries- Grace Ministries aims to give boys and girls from impoverished backgrounds and broken families an alternative to sexual and labour exploitation. This is hoped to be achieved by providing an opportunity to pursue a primary/secondary education in a safe, protective and nurturing residential environment, and in turn for them to free their families, from the debt culture. .
Current Financial Needs:
Following are the current financial needs. Meeting these needs will allow us to provide a loving environment for children at risk of slavery.
Child Sponsorship (operating costs):
Time Frame: We are currently accepting donations to support the operating cost for children.
Cost: $50 dollars per month will provide for nearly all of the needs for one child - food, medical care, education, clothing, etc.

Plan for Raising Funds:
Each time we send a team of people to Thailand we will request that in addition to raising support for themselves, they also raise additional funds toward meeting the needs of capital expenditures for Grace Ministries. We will also challenge each person that goes to seek sponsorship for at least one child.
We are committed to speaking about our experiences in Thailand to anyone interested in hearing. I believe that God will direct us to people who will feel compelled to get involved. Contact us through email if you would like to learn more.
