I’m really enjoying the discussion that has been happening here lately. I have another post that will be up on Monday morning that is related to the discussion and comments made here this past week, so I hope you’ll join me and leave your mark.
Today I want to send you to the blogs of a few friends that have joined us in our ministry efforts.
My friend Jan is raising awareness about our ministry and the plight of the homeless and at-risk youth and young adults we work with. Through the month of November she is hosting a blanket drive that also includes gift cards, ski gloves, and hand warmers for us to share with our friends on the streets during the colder months approaching. Her goal is 100 blankets and as many hand warmers, ski gloves, and gift cards as possible. Please check out her blog and join us by donating what you can. Her post also features some of the art by our talented friend Tonya.
Among my friend Kevin’s many talents is screen printing. He was recently inspired to design a t-shirt to sell to anyone who wants one and donate the proceeds to SEVENS. Go to his blog for more details. You can have a one of a kind (well almost) shirt and help our ministry at the same time.
We are in the middle of a very difficult phase of our ministry. Several of our supporters have come to the end of their time commitment to us and are no longer contributing to our ministry financially. Some have found other very worthy causes to give to, and some have had life changes or hardships of their own that prevent them from continuing their giving. We are so grateful for all that we have received and to all who have given and continue to give. But our needs have not changed and we are severely falling short of our budget for our salary, ministry expenses, and items needed to pass along to our friends on the streets. If you or someone you know is able to join us in our efforts here, we would love to hear from you! We are looking for individuals, families, small groups, churches, and businesses that can make a monthly commitment to help us with our costs and expenses. Ofcourse we also welcome one-time and occasional gifts and have added a Paypal button to our blogs and our website to make that more convenient. While donations made through Paypal are NOT tax deductible, all donations made to SEVENS or the Nowells through our ministry ARE tax deductible. CLICK HERE to go directly to our “How To Help/Give” page for the address.
One person can make a difference. Many people joining their gifts, talents, and resources together and bonded by a common goal can change the world…
