Everyone wants your $20...

What will you purchase with yours?

I love humor, so when I was deciding how to appeal to people to give toward the ministry we're doing in France, no matter how much or how little they were able to contribute, I came up with a little ad campaign. Here's the basic idea...

It's so easy to blow $20 on an impulse! There are a million products out there that claim to improve the quality of your life... A gun that blows chicken-scented bubbles for your dog to chase around; a baby carrier with hooks so you can hang your baby on a bathroom stall door while you use the facilities; and here are two more examples I found. Enjoy!





These are just people trying to make a living, and my intention is not to tear them down. But if we're buying stuff like this and NOT investing in the Great Commission, we may need to adjust our priorities, and examine who we're living for.

More to come!

The New Plan

I'm on my way to France, sooner or later, though I hope it's sooner! I have about $1500 in monthly support to raise before I am ready to go. I love meeting with people to talk about what I do, but calling them to sacrifice is not easy. I have to constantly ask myself, "Do I believe the work I'm doing is important enough to ask people to invest in it?" Yes. I do.

I'll be writing more frequently now. I've been lax while I've been in the US this year, and I apologize for that. I look forward to sharing the new adventures to come!
