My mind is blown
First of all, welcome Baker! And on the settings I see that Maggie has also joined. Maybe there are others...
So, tonight I head over to my friend's dad's house. Honestly, I've known him my entire life and I think the world of him. He's a great man.
Well, I head over to his house tonight support raising. I'm thinking "they don't come from a rich family by any means," and in fact I know that he was in a position where he tried to start a business and it failed. He was catching up financially for a long time. I know that they aren't poor, but they're not the people you'd expect to be huge donors - they're just the type of loving people you want supporting you.
So I get there and present what I'm doing. We have a great presentation, and after about 45 minutes...
1. They are pretty excited about the Jesus Film.
2. They were really encouraging.
3. They pledged me basically 5200 bucks.
Then we played games for an hour, and hung out for a bit more. Then I left, basically in a state of shock and awe. As I sit here I know I don't fully comprehend how awesome this is.
He said that him and his wife would give 50 a month, which I thought they might support me but really didn't have any expectations. I just told him I wanted to know what people I could contact, and he came through and said he would do it. Wow.
Next, he said his community service organization, the Odd Fellows, would give 600.
Next, he said he would put on a fundraiser, monthly, to raise 300 (at least) a month. He said 300 was really the minimum and it could be as much as 1000. At these fundraisers I will send to them info about my mission, how I'm doing, what I've accomplished, pics from the J FILM, etc. It will connect lots of people to what the Lord is doing while simultaneously funding my ministry. He said I could expect 4000 from these fundraisers.
And he's a pro at fundraising; he has probably raised over 500000 in his life, no joke. He's a man of his word and I can count on him for this.
Praise the Lord for his faithfulness and grace! He is truly able to do more than we could ever hope or imagine.
