Our shared journey

I'm excited at the prospect of our sharing this spiritual journey. Yesterday in service I discussed the fact that we need $3300 more to pay back the money needed to get the container to Sri Lanka out of customs. The church there has already paid the original $4000 to get it out and has begun distributing the contents. We've raised $700 so far and need $3300 more to pay them back. That's only $33 from 100 people in the congregation, and if we each agree to fast one item...a lunch or a couple of coffees or some sodas so we can come up with $6.60 each week, we can pay our $33 by Christmas and pay Sri Lanka back for getting the container out of customs. We have the opportunity to not only help out the Sri Lankans with their recovery from the tsunami, but we have the opportunity to grow together as a community with our fasting. This will be a fun shared journey!
