Benefit Dinner Success

What a wonderful night! God has truly blessed my family and I with a wonderful church family at Fairlane. I was overwhelmed with all the wonderful people who gave of their time, money, and efforts to help this benefit dinner be a success! So, first of all, I want to express my sincere THANKS for all those who were a part of this night! Below you can find some pictures from this special night! We raised a total of
$2, 373 and also had several pledges made for monthly support!! GOD is GOOD!!!! I continue to be amazed at how God brings together his people to accomplish his purposes, and I thank you for allowing HIM to use you. I am very humbled by your generosity!
Also, I now officially have a departure date!! My dad and I bought our plane tickets last week! So, on JULY 25, I will begin my 2.5 year journey in Guatemala! Thank you to all of you who are making this happen!!

Thanks and new Benefit Dinner

First off, I want to say how wonderful the Benefit Concert was last weekend for my mission and Jimmie's adventure! It was so much fun, and I was so honored to have so many people show up to support us. Thanks to all the bands and performers who volunteered their time to support these missions! I also want to thank everyone who helped put this whole event together! We raised over $500 that night, but on top of this, an anonymous donor decided to match whatever was raised!! Therefore, we ended up raising a grand total of $1100!!! All I can say is THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!

This coming Saturday, March 17, there will also be a benefit dinner at my parents' home church Fairlane Church of Christ in Shelbyville, TN. Anyone is invited to attend, but if you cannot, please see my blog about how you can donate. Here are the details for the benefit dinner:
