CBD-Search Information and Comments
What Are You Supporting?

We often ask you to support us by recommending us to others and by visiting our site often. We also ask that you consider purchasing additional services from us to help support us financially.

But why? And who are we?

CBD-Search was created and written by Hayden Andrews working under the name HeyDan Development. The site was initially created purely for Christian and evangelistic purposes, as an offering to God financed by my computer contracting company, which was being blessed financially by God at the time.

Since then, the direction of my life has changed and I am now more focused on serving God by reaching out and serving people. This has resulted in my wife and I recently moving to Thailand in response to what we believe was God's call. You can read more about what we are up to on our personal blog site.

This has meant that instead of being able to sponsor Internet projects out of abundant finances, we are now hoping to be able to use these same projects to also help raise a small income to help support us in our work.

We're certainly not focused on making a large profit, but instead would love to be able to support our ministry here in Thailand with money raised from our own work. Also, I am still committed to the original goals and ideas of my online ministry, and would hate to disclude people or make my services less available, because of excessive costs.

I have therefore decided, although some friends and family think it is a little unwise, to sell any services that I release on the Internet at the most minimum of costs, and certainly much cheaper than can be found anywhere else. By doing this, I hope to keep all my services available to everyone and to also be able to raise a small income for my family, praying that many many people will be prepared to purchase these minimal cost services.

If you're interested in finding out more, then please check out our personal blog site and also log into CBD-Search and explore some of the additional services that you could purchase and make use of.

Site Sponsors

You will have received an e-mail a couple of months ago telling you about the CBD-Search sponsorship auction.

The auction was a success and we are pleased to announce that we had some new site sponsors. You will find them listed on our Our Partners page.

Please support our sponsors by visiting them. You will find them advertised on most every page of the CBD-Search website, as well as on our HTML e-mails and newsletters.

If you would like to find out more information about becoming a CBD-Search Sponsor, please follow the appropriate links at CBD-Search. If you login to CBD-Search and select 'Partner Opportunities' from the menu, you can also select to be notified when the next auction begins.

The '10 at 10' Program

You may know that my wife and I (Hayden Andrews - the developer of CBD-Search) are now serving God in Thailand.

We are mainly spending our time working and studying Thai just now, but are praying that the immense amount of work that I have put in to CBD-Search may result in some income to help free some of our time to pursue some opportunities for God.

We would like to suggest a program where you can help us and also help make CBD-Search even more successful.

We are asking those of you who feel that you would like to help, to ask 10 friends (or as many as you like) who have a Christian website, business, church, etc, etc, etc to submit their details to CBD-Search and to also purchase $USD10 per year of additional services.

Your recommendation to those you know will help make the world of difference to our ministry both on the Internet and in Thailand, and at such a little cost to you and your friends.

We would love to hear from those who decide to take up this challange, and may introduce a page on the CBD-Search website listing those people who have met the challange of introducing 10 people to CBD-Search who then sign up and purchase additional services.

Thanks again for being part of CBD-Search and helping to make it the success that it already is.

Kind Regards,

Hayden and Emily Andrews
