Loved of God,

 I'm first of all a Christian and an individual.
So there are times I do my personal works of charity
But it's in times of these my personal waka waka that I come across needs of people that go beyond what an individual can do...

 So TLF started!
January 1st 2005
Incorporated August 27th 2010
Non political, not religious, not tribal, non profit, not occultic. 

 We all may be able to feed one mouth, or ten or fifty, but what of a city? Can even government do so? I mean consistently?
Jesus fed 5000 people and I believe.
I also believe He said we can do greater things.

 What are these greater things?
Charity and social development

 How?
I as an individual Tina can donate a large part of my income to one person who needs medical care or school aid or food to eat,
But 2 of us can help 2, 10 of us can help 10, and 210 of us can help 210.
I and indeed TLF do donate and work with other like minded NGOs, Foundations and charitable individuals as others who also join us. This is the chain of love and is what makes our charitable works have more impact.

 How about social development?
Asides giving people food, medical support, or educational or otherwise we can empower!
What's empower? What does it really entail?
It is helping the needy get a job, or others to get customers, or get patronage, or get opportunities to make money in order to meet needs;
It is helping someone who has become uninspired from what God created him or her to do in this life. 

 Maybe he can counsel others out of depression, but he hides himself permanently in the corporate world he focuses on making money from only!

Or maybe she can write, write commentaries that can help counter the toxic materials scattered around the Internet and bookstores and stands and even the media, but she is giving the excuse that she is busy building her professional career and catering for family only!

 So who are now the labourers Jesus told us to pray to God to send as the harvest is ripe?
Who will go out and do the work of charity and social development? Who? Those already there remember they also have careers to build, education to advance, families, vacations to go for, health to tend to and money to make also!

 Social development and charity go hand in hand.
God gives bread to the eater and seed to the sower.
TLF and indeed each and everyone of us as individuals and a group can give food, clothes, money and a listening ear to those in need,
And also,
Create empowerment opportunities to make people capable of helping themselves, their families and those around them.
We can contribute to infrastructure - mount traffic signs, renovate clinics or crèches or school, among others.
We can set up public libraries and counselling booths to help addicts, suicidal people, warring families and depressed, among others.

 All we do is what we have been convicted of the Holy Spirit about and what we have learnt from many other wonderful Foundations, NGOs, TV, Radio programmes, Books, Organisations and Individuals.

#NextGeneration Stories

Cherokee Legend Do you know the legend of the Cherokee Indian youth's rite of Passage? His father takes him into the forest, blindfolds him and leaves him alone.  He is required to sit on a stump the whole night and not remove the blindfold until the rays of the morning sun shine through it. He cannot cry out for help from anyone.  Once he survives the night, he is a MAN. He cannot tell the other boys of this experience, because each lad must come into manhood on his own. The boy is naturally terrified. He can hear all kinds of noises. Wild beasts must surely be all around him. Maybe even some humans might do him harm. The wind blew the grass and earth, and shook his stump, but he sat stoically, never removing the blindfold. It would be the only way he could become a man! Finally, after a horrific night the sun appeared and he removed his blindfold. It was then that he discovered his father sitting on the stump next to him.    He had been at watch the entire night, p...

Why Do You Smoke?

6 personalized approaches to quitting forever.  Everyone smokes—and quits—for different reasons, and the key to getting smoke-free for life is to find out why you are smoking and then change those behaviors. If you are a Recreational or Social Smoker, you may feel that your limited smoking poses no serious medical harm to yourself or others. You may, however, ignore warning signs that your occasional smoking is progressing into addiction, especially during periods of stress or increased alcohol use. A periodic review of these warning signs may help motivate you to consider becoming smoke-free. The Scared-to-Quit Smoker has no end of reasons (excuses) to put off going smoke-free to some future date. Sometimes it helps to focus on just quitting for one day. If you can quit for a day, you can quit every day. This realization can be a great confidence builder, and helps to decrease your fears about not smoking “ever again.” Forever is too big a word for many addicts; thus the old adage...
