I have worked with World Impact Network (WIN) since 2005 when they sent me as part of a 3-person team to serve Hurricane Katrina survivors in Bay St Louis, Mississippi. WIN's founders, Pastors Peter & Gabriella Van Breda, and I share the same passion for helping those in need who need it most. We also share the same philosophy of how we can best help others to help themselves - by teaching/sharing our skills in Leadership, Business, First Aid/CPR, Disaster Preparedness, Construction, Sanitation & Water, and other training.

World Impact Network W.I.N.), founded by Pastor Peter and Gabriella Van breda, is dedicated to helping people locally and internationally. What does W.I.N. do??? Here is the basis of what they do: Psalm 82:3-4 "Defend the cause of the weak and fatherless, maintain the rights of the poor and oppressed. Rescue the weak and needy, deliver them from the hand of the wicked."
The Great!
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
I personally witnessed people being helped thru W.I.N.'s Food Bank in Bellevue, WA, and it is clear that many people are being helped who might otherwise not have enough food to eat. W.I.N. gives people Hope! I have seen people in Sri Lanka and Kenya given Hope through the efforts of W.I.N. Part of W.I.N.'s philosophy is to provide help that not only helps mitigate current issues, but also help people strategically so that they can help themselves in the future.
Ways to make it better...
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
I would "clone" W.I.N.'s organization, creating & training organizations around the world to follow W.I.N.'s lead in serving mankind.
