So I had something funny planned today. I mean really it was good. But I stumbled across a blog on my reader that I love called Stuff Christians Like. SCL was started by a guy named Jon Acuff a while back. It's a great blog that I highly recommend.
Several months ago, Jon issued a challenge to his readers. He wanted to raise 30,000 dollars in a month to help build a Kindergarten in Vietnam. So what did his readers do? They raised 30,000 dollars in 18 HOURS. In fact they went on to raise $60,000 and are building two kindergartens.
Today Stuffchristianslike.net is at it again. This time they are fighting Malaria. If you donate $10 you can provide a mosquito net to a child in Uganda. They were hoping to raise $10,000 in 24 hours. (as of this writing they were at $18,500!!) This project ends at 9am tomorrow morning so you should go now!
I would like to use my blog as a way to encourage you to follow up on this. SCL has a great thing going and I wanted this small blog to be a part of it.
Go to www.stuffchristianslike.net for more information. There is a link on his page that you can click to donate.
Remember, $10 today can save a life tomorrow.
Jon
