Hello All,
I am not sure if this is the correct forum for this, so moderators please feel free to move or delete it if necessary. Also, I'm not sure how to really go about this, but I'll give it a try~
My name is Daniel Payne, and I am a teacher and pastor in South Korea - you can see our church website at http://www.opendoorskorea.org. We are the only English-speaking affirming ministry in Korea, and are a registered non-profit. Recently, we have decided that God is calling us build a home for runaway LGBTQ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgendered, queer) Korean youth. If you know anything about Korean society, it's extremely conservative and LGBTQ youth often have no place to go but the streets when (and if) they come out to their families.
As an avid baseball fan and collector (I've done some business with a couple members on this forum), an idea came to mind to raise money for this project. If each of you could donate just one nice card from your collection for Open Doors Community Church to auction off on Ebay and donate the proceeds to Open Doors, we could start raising money for this project. As you can imagine, LGBTQ youth are at the bottom of the totem pole here, and they have no government safety nets and very few social safety nets to fall back on. Please consider helping by auctioning off a card and donating the proceeds to Open Doors.
If you feel called to help us with this, please PM or email me (paynedaniel @ msn.com) and I'll give you the address for our church paypal account.
Thanks so much!
Peace,
Daniel Payne
