EARTHTRACES

Earth·Traces / '&rthtrAsés / noun - discovering the purposes of and path for one's existence on Earth.

 EARTHTRACES PROGRAMS ARE AVAILABLE TO ALL

EarthTraces is a 501(c)3 tax-exempt public foundation which began programs in 1995 with the purpose of building church, community and family through fellowship and individual growth through onsite events.

In 2007 the foundation divested its event programs and staff and has since focused on providing matching grants for Christian churches, schools, governments and 501(c)3 organizations that meet our organizational goals (above). Program grant requests may be submitted through our event partner TheEventLine.com, Inc. a large event production company that can provide for about any event need East of the Rockies. Please visit their website for more information: www.TheEventLine.com

2010 GRANTS LIMITATION NOTICE: Grants to non-Christian Organizations suspended in Kansas City to provide funding to combat Linda Wagar Fox 4 Kansas City TV anti-Christian media.

Christian Organizations often must battle Satan's forces even from unexpected places. Program grants in Kansas City will only be available to Christian organizations due to recent attacks on the faith by anti-Christian media. This was demonstrated by the faith bashing reporting of Linda Wagar ("When the Truth Does Not Matter") of Channel 4 Fox Television. Linda Wagar with no factual basis, fraudulently reported our Foundation was "non existent" (because we would not violate our privacy oath and name persons who received grants) and attacked our efforts through giving credibility to the lies of deviant persons who were hired in a "employ the hard-core unemployed" program, all of whom had arrest records, mental illness and/or substance abuse and all of whom were dismissed for theft from partner organizations. None were employees of the Foundation or members of churches the Foundation supports as Linda Wagar, Fox 4 Kansas City reported. Almost nothing she voiced was true and what is worse is she knew it. She decided to ignore the truth even after it was carefully provided to her and to Channel 4 management. By interviewing persons who had no knowledge of the facts then hiding behind "we only reported what was told to us" they created another misleading Christian bashing story. There have been more than 5 in the last year, each twisting the truth until it was false. We must all be wary of this serious bias in her reporting and in the television station that allows it. We note after our calling her on this, she voiced double meaning stories including one named a "church full of generous soulds help a lady" (--- not souls). This demonstrates the depth of her depravity and wickedness. For those who may have overlooked this, "soulds" in the urban dictionary means one who has had their soul sold to the devil.

We realize that this will impact a dozen or so groups that received grants from us in 2010 but this step is important so that the Church may have a better opportunity to defeat the foothold Satan has garnered in the media there. Schools, governments and 501(c)3's outside 100 miles of Kansas City remain eligible.
