I See the light Industries/Ministries are proud supporters of Here am I Ministries headed by Justin and Erin Mc Donald from Fallbrook California.
Justin and Erin, a young couple who were led by God to give up all material things and move to the Philippines to do missionary work for the LORD.

Why the Philippines you may ask. It all started back in 1999, when Erin went on her first mission trip to the Philippines with Lifeline Missions out of Albuquerque, NM. Her team traveled to different parts of the Philippines and taught the local churches a few different dramas to use in their outreach ministries. Upon returning from the month long trip, she continued to have a deep love for the Philippine people and a desire to return some day. That opportunity came nearly a year later when she was able to return to the Philippines, this time for six months. (Though we had not yet met I too was on a trip of sorts, a six month tour of the western pacific with the Marine Corps.) She was met with the same love and hospitality she had longed for. Working with children has always been one of Erin’s strong points, and it is no wonder that God would once again put her to work with the children of the Philippines.

"The Joy of Giving"
The words of Jesus that "It is more blessed to give than to receive" should
characterize our attitude regarding giving (Acts 20:35). We are called to be cheerful
givers (2Cor. 9:7). The Greek word translated cheerful is hilaros, from which we
derive the English word hilarious. It means to be prompt or willing. Any discussion of
Christian giving must begin with the nature of God, for it is out of Him that we are
able to give (2Cor. 3:5).
The apostle John writes that "God is love" (1Jhn. 4:8). We can only' love God
because He first loved us (1Jhn. 4:10, 19). He manifested His love by sending His
only begotten Son into the world (lJhn. 4:9). He is a giving God who bestows upon us
His greatest gift (His Son, Jhn. 3: 16) and continues to shower us with good gifts
(Jms. 1:17).God's love within us is to be manifested in our love for others and
meeting their needs (1Jhn. 3:16-17).
Everything we have comes from God~ He is our life (Col. 3:4). Apart from
Him we can do nothing (Jhn. 15:5). In Christ we can do all things (Phil. 4:13). Even
our bodies are not our own, for we have been purchased by -Christ (lCor. 6:19-20).
Since we own nothing, we are called to be good stewards of all that God has given
to us (Matt. 25:14-30).
The Old Covenant system of giving a tithe (literally a tenth) to God separated
Israel from the heathen nations (Gen. 14:20; Lev. 18:21,27:30; Deut. 12: 17; Neh.
12:44). When Israel failed this command, God said they had robbed Him! If they
obeyed, He promised to open the heavens and pour out His blessings (Mal. 3:8-10).
Under the New Covenant (Heb. 8:13), we will not experience the joy of God's
blessings until we commit the totality of our lives, time, talents and money to Him
(Rom. 12: 1-2, 1 Tim. 6:6-10).
Religion works from the outside in while God through Christ works from the
inside out (Rom. 13: 10; Gal. 2:20). Giving is not to be mechanical and obligatory.
It is to be from the heart (Rom. 15:1-6). Yet it is to be regular and systematic as
evidenced in the early church (Rom. 15:26-27; 1 Cor. 16:1-3). We are commanded
to share with others and not to trust in uncertain riches (1 Tim. 6: 17-19). Giving is
for our benefit, not for God's! Our giving God bestows His mercy (not getting what
we deserve) and His grace (getting what we don't deserve) upon us (Eph. 2:1-10).
May we ever give thanks to Him for Who He is and all that He has done through
Christ and the Holy Spirit (Eph. 5:15-21)!
