As a result of the earthquake it has become evident that there is a need for a coordinated effort and cooperation between smaller non-governmental organizations (NGO’s) and the larger UN affiliated NGO’s. JT Kowalchuk and myself have been creating a consortium to facilitate this cooperation. Over the past 2 months God has orchestrated connections with Governmental representative, World Food Program leaders and key people in larger NGO’s. Please pray for us as we seek to be a unifying catalyst.
Our vision for cooperation between smaller NGO’s and the United Nations and its affiliates can be illustrated though the metaphor of the circulatory system.
• The UN and its institutions (World Food Program, Unicef, World Health Organization, ect) are the vigorously beating heart.
• The partner larger NGO’s (World Vision, Care, Islamic relief, ect) are the arteries and veins in the system.
At present these groups work well together, but there is a disconnect of relationship with those who should be the beneficiaries of their resources. In the human body there are hundreds if not thousands of smaller vessels known as capillaries. These capillaries deliver the life giving resource of oxygen to the different parts of the body as they have need.
We purpose that the smaller NGO’s are those capillaries. They have the ‘hands on’, ‘face to face relationships with those in need. They have been there before the crisis and will be there afterwards. They understand the intricacies of the regions and people groups/communities that the UN wants to help. We hope to establish not only lines of communication but the flow of resources to those desperately in need. As smaller NGO’s connect and communicate in unison these larger organizations will feel more comfortable relating to and working with them. Much Ministries is taking the initiative to bring this relationship to reality.
