WE MADE OUR GOAL!

We raised our goal for Samaritan's Purse! We raised $1,980 and our original goal was $1,953. Its amazing how the Lord worked in this project and I am more than thrilled to imagine the impact that this money will have on children and families around the world. There were many that said that we were asking for way too much money, well, all I have to say, is that we weren't asking too much for God. He has blessed this beyond belief and has taught me and others the importance of diligence, visions, and most importantly, faith.
I want to say a big thanks to the most helpful people in this project which was East 7, dorm 8, and Brices Creek Bible Church. The prayer leaders, SLDs and RA's of dorm 8 were amazing in raising money to help us out! Thank you so much dorm 8! Also, the people on my mailing list who gave very generously to this organization. I can't begin to express the gratitude I have in my heart for those of you have been a direct answer to prayer. I give all the glory to God because He is the only one that allowed this to happen, the only One to who this was started in the beginning, and the only One that this money is for.
I sent out all the money this past Tuesday after changing all the cash into a money order, I should be receiving receipts and "in honor" cards after a few weeks. Because of the additional money we received, we were able to give to more items in the catalog. I will have them all listed below along with all the other items we were able to raise money for. Once again, thank you dorm 8 and Brices Creek Bible Church for your generous donations. Also, a shout out for all the prayer leaders that were very diligent, self-giving and supportive of this project, you all know who you are, thank you so much for the words of support and the willingness to work hard!
Next year I am planning on doing this same fund- raiser for Samaritan's Purse. Yet this semester has showed me a lot more important changes that I need to make.
