Why am I taking the time to introduce the amazing people to you? Well we are having our first fundraising event in just a few short weeks. For those of us involved, to say this is a step of faith would be stating the obvious. We have nothing to offer up here except our complete and total devotion and obedience to God. We are literally just a few short months out from the concept phase, as we plan and orchestrate our kickoff event that perhaps should take a year or longer to plan. BUT, God has arranged time and time again confirmations of His promise that says we are not to rely on conventional means. He is in control and will continually put people in our path to help us in ways that show His mighty hand in this ministry. However, at the same time, we must be open, available, and vulnerable to put ourselves out there to ask for what we need. And right now, we would like your support.
So many people are coming together to put this event on. We have a beautiful location with a full buffet dinner included, an amazing speaker that will share her personal experiences, an indie style singer/song writer playing her acoustic guitar, a photo booth, a professional photographer, silent auction/ raffle that will display some pretty impressive baskets and gift certificates (which could give you an early start on Christmas gifts should you win), and the chance to see and hear about a one of a kind ministry in the making. Besides the fact that this is a cause that is near and dear to our heart, it will be a fun night. How often do you get to get dressed up in semi-formal attire, wear a mask (if you so desire), and spend an evening rubbing elbows with the most humble people I have had the privilege of meeting? So grab a group of friends for a fun night out or your spouse for a special date night and come celebrate with us! I guarantee you won't regret it.
Thank you for taking the time to read this and I hope you join John and I as we start this wonderful adventure together with you.
