Cooking something up!

So this is about the fundraising.  Katie and I are doing well so far.  Thanks to those who have supported us so far!  We have been talking about doing an event to really ramp up some enthusiasm.  The idea is a "corn hole" tournament in the gym at the Christian Middle School!


We are thinking about having a fun night of games and food where you pay to enter the tournament and compete to win some prizes.  We thought it would be cool to have some poverty awareness thrown in as well so we are going to have some stations set up with the Spent poverty simulator available (you can try it by hitting this link).
I will update you all with some more details later!

In the meantime do continue to pray for those in poverty.  I found another awesome prayer from a "Mimi Simson" in her book of prayers.

For Those Living with Poverty and Hunger

Our Loving Creator God,
We bring before you this day
the burden the whole world carries
as it endures extreme poverty and hunger
in every land.
Stretch out your loving arms, we pray,
to embrace the suffering women, men and children
whose bodies, minds and spirits are shrinking
before our very eyes.
Help us to look, really look,
with clear eyes and open hearts,
to see the pain and hopelessness
in their bewildered eyes.
Kindle within each one of us
a flame of love and purpose,
and then
Enable us to channel our love into action
in every way possible
and impossible.
For this we pray.  Amen
