Agape in Action - The Beginning
Kristi and Cindy met on a medical outreach to Guatemala in 2002. They were touched by the extreme poverty, lack of health care, adequate sanitation, food and overall poor living conditions of the people. Since that time they have traveled to 13 different third world countries on various outreaches and have seen things that have grieved them enormously. They have now joined together and formed a non-profit organization called Agape In Action. The goal of the organization is to assist the poor and needy with health care and implement community development projects such as providing clean drinking water and teaching the importance of good nutrition. While short term medical outreaches provide immediate relief and are a valuable service, our main goal is teaching people how to prevent disease. Serious diseases in third world countries are caused by contaminated water sources. The first step is to teach the people the importance of using clean water and then provide the means for them to obtain it. Encouraging them to be proactive and play a major role in clean water projects fosters self sufficiency and maintains their basic human dignity. They can know they helped bring clean safe water to their families.
Agape in Action is funded solely by personal donations. If you would like to assist us with helping the poor and needy of third world countries we would greatly appreciate it. We realize there are hundreds of organizations and charities you can choose from to support and we do not take lightly the responsibility we have when people choose to support us. We are honored and humbled by that and we commit to use the money wisely. We are governed by a Board of Directors that oversees and approves how the finances are used. Please feel free to contact us should you have any questions or concerns.
May God bless you abundantly for your willingness to help those whohave so little.
