The Bible is the most powerful tool God has given us to reach lost people around the world. World Help began its ministry by providing Bibles in Russia. Since inception, God has allowed us to print and distribute nearly 9 million Bibles, New Testaments, and other pieces of Christian literature to places where they are needed most. World Help is committed to placing Bibles into the hands of those who have never seen a Bible, much less owned one. I recently read that less than 10 percent of professing Christians in America have read the entire...

My experience at Dadaab refugee camp, as you will see in this video, rivals any humanitarian crisis I’ve ever witnessed. In a dusty haze that cloaked the entire camp in an eerie hue of red, I sensed helplessness; I saw hollow eyes and empty hands; I touched the sick and dying; I smelled death; and I heard the haunting whimper of babies unable to muster the energy to cry. These are the moments that change a person forever. In an address to the World Help staff, Senior Vice President Tom Thompson reminded us that the Somali people are...

Bill Murray has raised $13,000+ on his fundraising page just by sending out an email. If you’ve been reading the news the past few weeks, you’ve heard about the crisis in the Horn of Africa.

I am a committed Christian, married for 25 years to my wife Kathy, and blessed by my daughter Megan and her husband Chris with two wonderful granddaughters Lily (2)...

Today, I spent the entire day at the Dadaab refugee camp on the Somali border. Now considered to be the largest refugee camp in the world, 25,000 people have already perished here, most of them being children. Perhaps one of the most tragic of these realities is that most Americans remain unaware of this ongoing crisis and are empowered even less to respond to its staggering magnitude. Since our World Help team was traveling with the Deputy Speaker of Parliament and the Prime Minister’s personal assistant, we had a caravan of seven...

In the hills of rural Guatemala, Blanca, a 3-year-old girl, is on the verge of death. The reason? Lack of food and water. Not many people know where Blanca lives. Her story will never hit the evening news. Her family lives in extreme poverty and the chance of them finding help for their suffering daughter is slim. You will not spend much time thinking about Blanca after you read this. Her life will be easy for you to forget. And that is what I am trying to change. I just returned from Guatemala where I helped document on video the story of...
