My name is Clark Farley. I am leading this fund raising

My office address is
Clark Farley Agency 9300 Two Notch Rd. Columbia, S.C. 29223 Phone is 803-788-4211 FAX 803-788-0344 Office e-mail: farleyc2@nationwide.com
I am one of 7 brothers and sisters and we grew up in the Methodist Church in eastern Kentucky. My mother played piano for the opening of Sunday school. I am married to Cherrie and between the two of us we have 4 children. They are all grown now. Our baby is Ashley, she is an honors graduate from Clemson University and the office manager at our main agency. I am a grandfather of 2 (Shelby and Zack). I am very active in my church and work extensively with the missions. Cherrie and I sing in the choir. |

Hobbies: I don’t play golf. I don’t hunt or fish. But I do like to ride around the lake in my ski boat and maybe pull some young skiers. (I ski only once a year). I also have a Honda motorcycle that Cherrie and I venture out on occasionally.

Me and Nicaragua: As most of my friends and all of my family will tell you, my true passion for the last 6 years has been the people of Nicaragua. We have led or helped lead over 25 short-term missions to Nicaragua in the course of about 6 to 7 years. We helped build a Christian school that teaches over 400 kids a day. We ship regularly containers full of clothing, hospital equipment, and supplies to Nicaragua. I have shipped vehicles, a van, a school bus, and an Isuzu Trooper to Nicaragua. We constructed several houses for poor families. I lead medical teams, construction teams and evangelical teams at least twice a year. I have been all over the country and travel there about 5 times a year. I have spent thousands of dollars of my own money and have raised thousands more that I have sent to worthy Christian organizations in Nicaragua. 100% of every dollar I raise goes directly to help the people of Nicaragua. I always pay all of my own expenses when I go. I pay all of the office expenses for my efforts here in the states. (Phone calls, computer expenses, postage) I even pay the costs of wiring the money down to Nicaragua. The Lord has blessed me indeed with a very good business that allows me to do this. I also have the freedom in my work to take off and go to Nicaragua just about anytime I want. That is one of the reasons, I think, the Lord has called me to do this work. And He has given me a zeal for this work that I have never experienced before.
CICRIN and Quincho: If you would like to donate to the CICRIN Orphanage or Quincho, simply write a check to Christian Ministries International and mail it to me at the above address.
