CAM Blog Podcast-40 40 40 Project with Jamie Birch and Dave Scammell

Jun 10, 2008 Uncategorized, faith in action

This call was a bit different in that we didn’t focus on the affiliate marketing business, or an affiliate program, but instead on a really worthwhile “God project” that a Christian brother in the affiliate industry is taking on.

I sat down late last week with Jamie Birch of Converseon and his friend (non affiliate industry) Dave Scammell to chat about a project called the 40 40 40 Project that Dave and Jamie are working on together. In the 40 40 40 Project, Dave is attempting to raise enough money to build 40 homes in warn torn- Burundi through a really awesome ministry focused on reconciliation between the two warring factions (Hutu’s and Tutsi’s) .

We had a great chat about the background of the conflict that has created the need for housing, the details of the reconciliation efforts, the cost of building a single home ($1000 USD) and how Dave became convicted to help with this effort and subsequently how Jamie became involved in the effort. We also chatted a bit about how CAM Blog followers can help.

The challenge is to raise $40,000 in 40 days ending on June 22nd. Jamie has committed to raising $5000 towards the effort and we’d like to be a part of this. If you’d like to help Jamie meet his goal, please visit his site at http://jamiebirch.com/fortyhomes.html

Jamie has been a friend in the business for a long time and has been actively involved in youth ministry before the birth of his last 2 kids - I am happy to help with this effort and I hope you will too.

God Bless,

Wade
