Economy of Mercy

Hey Guys, its been quite a while since we have updated the blog n stuff, but about a week ago we got some really exciting news from our friends who went to Vietnam with the money and support we raised this year.

We received about four emails via Joanne and Matt with all kinds of really exciting information about what God was able to do with the money we raised over the last year.

first off we were able to use the money for a few things so keep on scrolling down.

These are some pictures from the hospital where they perform the cataracts surgeries for which no shave November 2008 went toward.

another really exciting part of what we were able to do is send some money to buy jackets for the orphans at Khe Sanh.

its been a while since an update but we want you to know that your support was greatly appreciated and that these orphans and children are still going to need your continued support and prayers. also we would like to challenge you that it does not stop at the checkbook. whether it is finding a way to help with people in your own area that are less fortunate or packing your bags and spending some time outside of our comfortable day to day lives. if you have any questions about some ideas of what you can do feel free to let us know and definitely we can figure something out, cause that is what we are about. trying to get more people involved and changing lives.

Hey guys, sorry for the long time in between posts, senior year is quickly ending, which more importantly means that our road trip is quickly approaching, we set the date for departure at June 6th, so looking forward to that.

also wanted to update you on locks of love, currently Silas is in first place.

Here is a good book that we just wanted to let anyone who is a book junky know about, it is the Autobiography of George Muller.

It is a book a book on the life of a man whose:

             “Unwavering, childlike dependence upon his heavenly Father will inspire you to confidently trust the God of the impossible to meet your needs in every area of your life.”

Please Join us as we read through this book ourselves.

So our latest adventures have involved about 4,000 fliers, the eastern half of twin falls, over 40 miles a day, and two ridiculously cool razor scooters.

Jordan’s dad happened to find an add in the nickle classifieds advertising a money making opportunity for a local non-profit organization that would be willing to pass out thousands of doorknob fliers for 13 cents a door. so far we have passed out over 700 and Jordan’s dad passed out a substantial amount as well.
