About Me

Hey!  My name is Chase, thanks for checking out FIGHT FOR THE BROKEN.  The idea behind this blog serves a dual purpose.  It lets my family back home see what I am up to and it raises awareness for various organizations in a much more meat-headed and fun way than usual.  Each week I will post reviews over things such as: My latest workouts, Challenges I have attempted (whether it be events or Guinness Book Records), Hero recognition, and my latest fight.  Most of my pictures will be taken by my AWESOME and BEAUTIFUL wife Airin Owen.  The reason why this blog is titled FIGHT FOR THE BROKEN is because through each event I compete in I will be doing different things to help raise awareness for these organizations.  All of my fight winnings or any other money that could be earned will go straight to these organizations as well.  I can't say this is a ground breaking and mind blowing way to raise awareness.  But this is at least something I can do in addition to what God has handed me here in my day to day life.  These organizations work for those that really are broken or hurting. Their mission is to do things like free child soldiers, sex slaves, and feed orphans.  Most of these sites allow you to make either one time donations or monthly ones(because honestly what is like $20 a month to us?  You can't even pay for a dinner for 2 at that price).  So if you are interested in donating to any of these organizations please check out the Favorite Organizations page on this blog to learn more about them.  Thanks for stopping by.

"But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed on me was not in vain.  but I labored more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me." 
  1 Cor 15:10

Favorite Organizations

Listed below are a few of the organizations that we have either had the privilege of working with or that we support.  So take a look at some of them and feel free to click on the links to their websites.



International Justice Mission
http://www.ijm.org/

This organization specializes in stopping human trafficking and slavery.  They are working constantly in breaking up sex trades and child slavery and they are doing an awesome job of it.  They constantly updating their blog website with news and recent break throughs.




Invisible Children
http://www.invisiblechildren.com/

Invisible Children was started by a handful of college students who went on a trip to Uganda to do a documentary on the civil war there.  The rebels kidnap children from the surrounding villages and brain wash them, forcing them to fight in this war for them or die.  Shortly afterward the college students started the organization Invisible Children.  Working to free these children and relocate them to where they can live a much better life sleeping and eating in homes and going to school. This an AWESOME organization making a HUGE impact so check them out.




Cadence International
http://www.cadence.org/Default.aspx

This is an organization that sends missionaries out to start churches and minister to the military around the world, reaching them in countries where Christianity is rare.  You can go to their website a pick one of the missionaries to personally donate to.  The church we attend in Okinawa is a part of this organization and they do an amazing job.












Imjai House
http://www.imjaihouse.com/new/

Here is an orphanage in Chiang Mai Thailand.  This place is awesome, they take children in from all over and give them an amazing life with some seriously good education (probably better than most American schools).  Our church goes there every year to do a Vacation Bible School with the kids and it really was one of the best experiences of my life.  I strongly encourage you to check these guys out and sponsor one of these orphans.

Compassion International
http://www.compassion.com

 Compassion International is a Christian child advocacy ministry that releases children from spiritual, economic, social and physical poverty and enables them to become responsible, fulfilled Christian adults.  If you would like to sponsor a child check these guys out.


Faithful Heart Ministry
http://faithfulheartministry.com/

Started by a couple from South Carolina, this ministry is dedicated to raising funds and providing management/oversight for several small orphan homes.  These guys rely on what little money they have and whatever their sponsors will donate to these children resources are limited so whatever help is appreciated.
