Financial Update!!!




Sorry we left you with such a cliffhanger for so long, but Ben was away for work. I promise we will get back to his series soon! I wanted to give you a quick update on our finances so you can be praying specifically. Ben will be creating an official report here shortly, but I wanted to take some time to give God praise! A couple of weeks ago we finished our online auction that was held on Facebook. If you didn't get to take part in it, it was a lot of fun! Local businesses and friends donated items to us so we could have people bid on them for two weeks. At the end of the two weeks, the highest bidder won the item.  People were very generous and it was fun to see some of the bidding wars too! My favorite item that was bid on will be a Kenyan Style dinner at our house, the weekend after we get back from Kenya. It sold for $151! (I hope my pojo and rice doesn't disappoint. I will need to get some more thorough lessons from Kenya Taylor while we're there!) Anyways, after all is said and done our auction of 50 various items brought in $1,756.44!  We were so thrilled!!! We have also had several individual donations come in. Those are now totaling $3,585! So, we currently have $5,341.44 towards the $7,627.05 we need to cover our airfare. God is so good!!! We still need to get the children their immunizations (which is no small fee) and have some other costs for while we are there, but we are getting there! If you would like to contribute, please take a moment to visit our sub-pages along the top- "Our Mission" and "How You Can Help" to get all of the details. Thank you everyone for all of your support!
