Enspri® is the startup venture by Sue Kint, president of Kintech USA --They are the creators of beauty aids Enspri® Collagen 5000 and Enspri® Ceramide Skin Essence, two high quality skincare products that really work to promote radiant, healthy skin. As woman mature, collagen levels in the skin begin to decrease, causing unwanted wrinkles and dry skin. Fortunately, the visible signs of aging can be diminished with Enspri's product line
Enspri® Collagen 5000 is a 100% pure natural collagen peptide facial mask in a unique powder form. Proprietary Enzyme Engineering Technology is used to achieve a low molecular weight, which results in increased interaction of the collagen with the outer layer of the skin. Research indicates that collagen peptide replenishment improves skin structure. Collagen is considered an anti-irritant and does not cause allergic reactions when used on the skin. It assists in promoting healthy skin moisture, therefore enhancing skin elasticity. It tones and tightens the skin giving the appearance of reducing wrinkles, leaving you with a beautiful, healthy and more youthful appearance.
Enspri® Ceramide Skin Essence is a specially formulated blend of ceramide and other effective ingredients, which helps regulate the rate of moisture loss from the skin. It is specially designed for sensitive skin to enhance dermal hydration. It boosts the skin's natural ability to nourish, hydrate and oxygenate itself, thereby offsetting the visible signs of aging and increases its resistance to damage from environmental affects. Enspri® Ceramide Skin Essence deeply revitalizes and re-textures the skin giving the feel of increased firmness, as well as a more even and supple look, while leaving the skin feeling silky, smooth and refreshed.
President Sue Kint says that when first introduced to Collagen 5000 and Ceramide Skin Essence, "I tried them and was astonished by the rapid, positive effect the products had on my sensitive skin. After only a few applications I noticed a dramatic change in my skin's texture and appearance. Fine lines and dryness vanished. My skin felt firmer and more resilient. Friends and associates even commented that I looked years younger and wanted to know my "secret.""

PTG Studios is pleased to announce the selection of Free Wheelchair Mission for its innovative, educational television series, Today's Family. The company will be featured in a segment on "Reaching the World for Christ" for the series "Until the Whole World Hears."
Imagine this--100 million people in the world can only crawl. Years ago Don Schoendorfer bore witness to this as he watched a precious woman pull herself across the dirty ground, crawling in the streets of Morocco. An MIT-trained engineer with his doctorate, Don right then made the conscious decision to use his talents and gifts to change the lives of millions of helpless people like the woman. In 2001, Don created the Free Wheelchair Mission, based in Irvine, California, the non-profit organization's mission is to transform lives through the gift of mobility. Many of the recipients are the poorest of the poor in developing countries and are constantly exposed to dangerous living conditions. Disabled by land mines, diseases, accidents or birth defects, this is the only life they can aspire to, unless they receive help.
FWM is a Faith-based nonprofit organization that provides the wheelchairs to the needy and is driven by faith in God. This significant mission cannot be taken lightly," said Free Wheelchair Mission President and Founder Don Schoendorfer, 56. "The wheelchairs are not only lifting the poor off the ground physically, but spiritually and emotionally as well. This effort goes far beyond politics, race, sex and religion".
Wheelchairs give mobility, independence, dignity and hope, forever changing the lives of the fortunate ones. To date, FWM has distributed over 130,000 wheelchairs in 50 countries. Free Wheelchair Mission partners with like-minded organizations to distribute wheelchairs free of charge to the physically disabled in great need. A wheelchair offers recipients a chance to work, to relieve the burden on their friends and family, and to enjoy their human rights and physical and spiritual independence. Free Wheelchair's Mission's vision is to distribute 20 million wheelchairs by 2010. FMW plans to ship 200,000 wheelchairs in 2006.
PTG Studios is pleased to announce the selection of FOCAS for its innovative, educational television show, Today's Family. The segment, Reaching your world for Christ, will be featured in "Until the Whole World Hears" series. The FOCAS segment will air, during the holiday season, in many of the top 100 markets nationwide. The mission of FOCAS ministries is, through Christ, to transform lives: those of young people in Over the Rhine, which is the inner-city of Cincinnati, and the children and youth on the island of Haiti, teaching them the truth and the power of Jesus Christ, and offering tender loving care. The evangelical organization was founded in 1986, by Richard P. Taylor, as a non-profit, Christian corporation. His vision was to help the desperately poor in Haiti with their basic needs: education, food and medicine. His dreams to improve the lifestyles of the impoverished and less fortunate have materialized and expanded into multiple projects. One of those projects is the Child Survival Program for the children of Haiti. Established in 1997, the goals of the Child Survival Program are to substantially reduce disease and death among the children and women of childbearing age, to offer high quality health care services through five program clinics and to help the indigenous partner organizations to successfully operate sustainable programs. The program also assists families with HIV/AIDS prevention, child spacing services and provides them with safe drinking water and sanitation resources. FOCAS is also making a difference in Haiti through its Child Sponsorship Program. Several hundred children, many of whom would not be able to attend school, are getting an education, medical attention, a school uniform and a hot lunch incorporating the Gospel of Christ. Through evangelism and programming, God has used FOCAS to lower death rates and malnutrition in Haitian children, while improving health conditions. For example, in FOCAS's service area two-thirds of Haitian children are being immunized; and, healthy and sanitary deliveries of babies are being performed. "We have quietly served in some of Haiti's poorest areas for 20 years to help infants survive the dangerous early years and help kids get a basic education. I am delighted that FOCAS has been approached by PTGTV to tell our story in time for the holidays," says Dick Taylor, Executive Director and Founder of FOCAS. Programs have also been established in Over the Rhine, Cincinnati, where FOCAS ministries have been providing a safe place for children, young male adults and the homeless in three inner-city programs: The Lord's Gym, the Lord's Pantry and the Nicholas Hoyer Sportsclub. These safe havens function to meet the individuals' needs but also to let them hear the "Good News" of Jesus Christ. There are many ways to become involved in FOCAS so that these numbers can continue to increase. For more information, see http://www.focas-us.org
