Help keep 25 years of blessings alive!
UPDATE: We didn't reach our goal to 'buy the house before time ran out, and the house was sold, but God did provide a beautiful condo to rent only 4 doors down! Now, until we update the video, we're being honest and simply saying, we'll appreciate help to meet our monthly expenses. We figured we'd need about $30,000 a year. So, that's the update. Now, below is our original posting...
How many people do you know who'd work for an employer for 25+ years, WITHOUT a paycheck? That's exactly what Tim Page, founding director of Total Involvement Ministry has been doing, to help prove to those he mentors that he 'really' cares for them, and 'money' is NOT his incentive, but GOD is! As a Catholic, Tim reaches out to 'anyone', of any or 'no' faith, to bring them hope and help in time of need. However, the house that we've been blessed to rent during all this time, is going to be SOLD, 'unless', we can find enough generous people to help us to 'buy' the house. It might be difficult to believe that such a person exists who would basically give his 'life' for God in this way, but don't take his word for it, see what these people have said:
Total Involvement Ministry's founding director, Tim, is one of the most hard working, passionate people I know. His priority in life is solely and inexhaustedly to give to the community love, laughter and the opportunity to know God in a personal and deeply intimate way. HIs generosity of spirit I believe to have little ego and all heart. Luv! Diane (and I'm currently NOT a practicing believer myself!)
This ministry is crucial for the hope of youth in Los Angeles. I have known and supported Tim for over twenty years! My late husband, Norman Tanis, worked with him in the prisons as well as serving as a board member helping the ministry. A more hard-working man in the field of evangelization we've never known. Working with youth HAS to be the most challenging field for anyone. Tim Page's sense of determination along with His abiding love of God and deference to his Will shows me he is a man worthy of our support. Terese Tanis
For me, one of my first eye openers was when I realized why this ministry was a keeper and MUST survive was when I heard about Halloween being so special there. People made a special trip to visit this house not because of the candy passed out or the tricks delivered. It was because of the simple religious articles that moved and touched them! Obviously, it was not void of fun and treats too like the popcorn that was popped in their very own popcorn machine, but most especially the warm welcome that was extended to one and all... Blessings! Rose
Through the years, Total Involvement and it's director, Tim have faced some extremely difficult times (like this one!), so on those days when you feel the reserves of your spiritual energy running a bit low, remember that God gave you the gift of your smile. I am sure that when you were a younger man, you may have thought your smile might be part of the package needed to land your first role in Hollywood. Only 'Our Father' in Heaven knew that He was going to use your smile to be a star attraction on a very different stage that what you first imagined. Thank God you are one of the few people who without reserve proclaim, "Your will Father, not mine." Your trust in God will not lead to disappointment.
