Another exciting day! We are now just under 25% committed! Although, every single donation is an exciting moment. We've been immensely blessed with all the people who have given money toward our move. It's truly blown us away! We are amazed at the generosity of those we know and even some we don't! God has given us such wonderful people in our lives, and it's evident by the fact that after only a few short months we are now at this point of having a quarter of our funds given.

This leaves us about 20 weeks to raise the remainder of the funds if we want to leave by our goal date of the first of the year. That's about $1,800 a week we have to raise until the end of the year! A pretty daunting task, indeed! Your continued prayer is appreciated and badly needed if we are to meet this goal. We believe that God wants us to minister to his people in Guinea and therefore we believe he will gladly provide for us.

We will be having a fundraiser in 2 weeks. We would love it if any of you who lived locally would come, enjoy food, and some entertainment. And we do think it'll be entertaining.

Why?

Well, because we are having a Weight-lift-a-thon! A handful of brave participants will be featured in events that will test their physical strength [and hopefully raise us some money!] We'll be looking for people to pledge money toward a contestant that they think can outlift, out push up and out perform the others; such as $1 a push up or $1 a pound! There will also be events open for people to try their strength at just for fun. We're pretty "pumped" about this idea!

The event will take place at 55907 East Avenue, Mishawaka, IN at 6:30. With a donation, food and beverages will be provided. We're hoping for a good turnout and are positive of a good, entertaining time! If you're in the area, please stop by. If you have questions you can contact Hannah at hannahgrudda@gmail.com

God Bless!
