IT'S A GO!!!!!!

The first hurdle has been cleared and I have been given the OK from my company to go.


Now, on to the money, the part where you can help. Not just by giving of your own money, but by hitting up everyone you know to try and help. Since my goal is $4000, that comes out to 160 people giving $25. That sounds pretty easy, but I don't know 160 people well enough to ask them for $25, I'm hoping that you can help. Of course, some people can give more, which cuts that 160 down, but some can't give $25, and I understand that. I'm making some cards to hand out that tell people what I'm trying to do and list this website as a place to go to support my trip. If you would like some of these, let me know and I'll get them to you. If you want to do something different, by all means, go for it. I will be adding a page to this site called, "How to donate," which will give directions on how to donate and get credit for tax purposes and where to send the money. I figured if I made this site a one stop shop for information about my trip, how to donate and ultimately a report on how the trip went, that takes the actual "begging" for money out of your hands, you just need to ask people to check it out. I'm well aware that some people won't want to support a mission trip in South Africa, that's cool, I don't want anyone trying to help me to strain a relationship they have with someone by angering them or making them uncomfortable. Just point them to this site and they can make up their own mind. I'm also aware that some people won't want to support a faith based organization, that's fine as well, but I won't hide the reason I'm going. Ultimately, this is a God thing. I'll go if it is his will, but He doesn't just hand us anything except salvation, I'll have to work if I want to go.



So get out there, spread the word, and Thanks! South Africa, here I come!!!!!!!
