Face of My Father Children's Home (Mexico)
We at Good Measure want to extend a big THANK YOU to Tod and Kristi Ramey and their three daughters for their work to make the children's home in Mexico a reality. After several years of 24/7 service, they have returned to the US for the next stage of their lives. We know that generations of children will rise up and call them blessed. We are privileged to have been a small part of what they accomplished.
Another Hope, Uganda
Another Hope serves the children of Uganda. Their mission statement is "To Glorify God by meeting the spiritual and physical needs of the children in Uganda." You can read more and see pictures and video on their website.
Microfinance
Microfinance, sometimes called microcredit or microloans, is often the only way people in the developing world can begin to make a living for themselves. Our ministry partners offer small cash loans to start a business, or they provide the raw materials and training to get someone started in a business. For example, in a remote village in India, women are learning how to make laundry soap. With the profits from their sales, they pay for their materials and feed their families. Another group of women in far North India is learning how to sew and make candles. This is a tangible way for people to experience the love and concern of Jesus in their lives.
Your gift toward microfinance starts a process that eventually becomes self sustaining, generating income for years to come. You can't get a better return on an investment!

Sewa Ashram India
From the Sewa Ashram website: "Sewa Ashram is a rehabilitation center for sick, destitute people that has cared for the poorest of the poor since 1997. Regularly our team patrols through the streets of Delhi and picks up those extreme cases who have been abandoned, overlooked or left to die by others. At our community setting, 25 km outside of Delhi, we nurse them back to life by providing free medical care and long-term rehabilitation, including making jewlery to sell. Many of our recovering patients help out with the day to day needs of the Ashram by caring for each other. In this way we run on a humble budged based on compassion and love." We visited this ministry in Delhi and have sold Sewa Ashram's jewlery at our annual Christmas Bazaar.

Tractors
mean more food for more people on the same plot of land. Planting Hope (formally Tractors for Our Daily Bread) is dedicated to providing agricultural support to

tractors in places like the Fairfield Childrens' Home in Zimbabwe, HIS

biggest need is funds to refurbish and ship tractors to needy areas.
