$1.00 for Be The One


So, sticking with the theme of 1(one) we have decided to kick off our fundraising by making our first fundraiser all about 1.  In an effort to raise our first $1 thousand, I am asking all of you to donate just 1 dollar.  I don't know if I have 1 thousand friends, but I bet with a little help we can get this to 1 thousand people.  It may seem insignificant just as 1 child out of 13 million seems insignificant, yet we know that the 1 child is vastly important to God. Your 1 dollar is also vastly important to us.

I am sending this out in faith that God will take these 1's and multiply them for his kingdom. I was going to wait until I had a paypal account and a p.o. box and my 501(c)(3), but I feel that the more time I take to think through these decisions, the more it's about me and less about what God is doing. So, while I am doing the above, I'm asking you to go ahead and send your 1 to the address listed below.  If you don't think your 1 is significant, just watch.

13 million orphans - 1 = Be The One

 Winston Churchill once said that "It's not enough that we do our best; sometimes we have to do what's required."

   In our busy worlds, we try to comfort ourselves that we are taking care of our families, helping when we can and giving what we can spare.  Usually I congratulate myself that I made it through the day and the kids have all been fed and are healthy. It's not that I don't want to do more, I'm just tired.
I'd like to just tune out the world but I know that there are children out there who go to bed hungry and wishing for a home. No, I can't save them all, but I'm hoping to save just 1 more.

    So I have started a non-profit agency called Be The One. We will be raising money to financially help families who are in the process of adopting in order to bring 1 more child home.

   I'm sensing a pattern here.
