Raising funds...we tallied it all up!

a couple of weeks ago we sent out a call to our friends here,
our facebook friends,
and our church family...
to help support our brothers and sisters in ethiopia.
as francis chan put it so well in his fearless message...
"how do i live responsibly while my brothers and sisters are suffering."
responsibly as in 40% of my income has to go to savings...and 10% to tithe[which the only way we budge on is by increasing our tithe, because the lord calls us ALL to be tithing.] and the other 50% to bills and spending money...
so I ask you again...
how do i live responsibly while my brothers and sisters in ethiopia are suffering?
I can not.
I choose not to.
and many of you have come along side to choose to not live the "responsibly" as the world sees it...
but responsibly as we are called to...and that is to care for our brothers and sisters and orphans and widows.
So....
Heres the euchre party...





our funds raised for Ebenezer Grace childrens home is $1101.00!
that is great. such a blessing.
please continue to pray about giving to this ministry...to maybe do a euchre or game party or cupcake sale...
or my emme is selling bracelets that she made for the orphans...she has such an amazing heart.
she's selling them from $1.00-$5.00 whatever people want to donate.


Thank you friends! you rock!
