It’s done.

The 2008 Arlington Youth Dynamics banquet is done.

Last night was such a good time for fellowship and exposing this ministry to the community. We had over 180 folks show up! The preliminary totals are in and we’re just under $25,000. Praise God! We should also see more come in the next week or so. Many folks were going to pray about what to give - so keep praying for open and giving hearts!

Thanks for your prayers!

Thanks to all of you who were praying over yesterday’s banquet. It was an amazingly encouraging event.

When all was said and done we raised over $33,000! Praise God for his goodness.

I’m not just excited about the funds (which go towards scholarships, operating budgets, getting a van and more), I was also so impressed with the people that attended. It was great to fellowship with such fine folks.

And that’s not all. Many people that attended are still interested in giving, it just takes time to pray and think it over, so our goal of raising$36,000 is very much attainable over the next few weeks.

I am very thankful for all those who helped, attended, and prayed over this event. Thank you all!

Today we are hosting our annual YD (Youth Dynamics) fund-raising banquet. It is our major fundraiser for the year that provides for scholarships, ministry support and program costs. It has been a tremendous journey leading up to this event. We’ve really felt God’s hand upon us as we’ve seen the community rally around. My heart is to see people come, enjoy the fellowship and learn more about our ministry. We are praying for financial and prayer partners.

I am asking for your prayers to cover this event and the people involved.

It’s been an amazing journey to put this together, and I’ll be excited to report tomorrow on how it went.

I know this event can have great significance towards reaching youth for the Lord and it will be opposed by the enemy - so lift us up in prayer today!
