LawBrat has a friend named Chris, who is going with eleven other Christians on a mission trip to Kenya, where they be teaching the children there bible verses, songs, and doing projects with them centering on Christ. LawBrat writes:
Anyone that donates any money or tangible items will be a tax deductible donation. No donations are for the benefit of the specific person. Any checks or money orders are made out to the church, and then mailed to Bruce, the Bruce will take it to the church and they will put his account number in the memo line of the check. Each of the 12 members are raising $3100 each. The Church is picking up a lot of the cost, but going to Africa, 12 people, it's a lot.
Each person has the same amount to raise. It's divided up equally. If a person does not reach what that person is supposed to reach, they don't go. I'm not sure how close he is to the goal, but he's fairly confidant that things will work out.

Wow, what a project! I'll click to learn more from Lawbrat. I heart her.
ReplyDeleteI also heart Chris and the other 11 peeps going on this mission to Kenya.
I'm flat broke, but if he and his posse want to clean my apartment, I'll kick $10 in!

ReplyDeleteSo terrible about VT, I heard on the news that there is now a bomb threat on the VT campus. When will it end?
It sounds like a great cause. Thanks Nick.
