July 29, 2007 | In: Faith, The 40 Day Fast
Get A Goat
Tuesday is the last day of The 40 Day Fast. What an awesome journey it has been.
I’ve been challenged and changed and I hope you have as well.
In addition to encouraging everyone to take part in the fast on Tuesday, I’d like to wrap this up with an opportunity for everyone to take a small step to break the inertia of complacency that hinders us all.
Get A Goat
It’s a project I’m calling Get A Goat. Catchy, huh?
Who?
You. Your blog readers. Your friends. Your family. Your Jr. High gym teacher. Anyone. If 75 people donate, we can provide a goat for a family in need.
What?
Five minutes and One dollar.
It will only take 5 minutes and $1 to help a family in need by purchasing a goat for them through World Vision.
A goat nourishes a family with fresh milk, cheese, and yogurt, and can offer a much-needed income boost by providing offspring and extra dairy products for sale at the market.
There isn’t a person reading this who can’t afford 5 minutes and $1 dollar.
Where?
Here. I’ll collect donations through Tuesday at 11:59pm.
Why?
Because we can.
How?
Just take 5 minutes, grab your wallet, credit or debit card or your paypal account and donate one dollar. My goal is to raise $75 to buy a goat for a family in need. I will cover any amount that isn’t donated. I’ll post my receipt of the purchase from World Vision.
When?
Now.
(You don’t need a Paypal account. If you want to use a credit or debit card, just click the “Continue” link on the bottom left of the page – above the credit card icons.)
Spread The Word
Post this image on your blog and spread the word. Perhaps we can help several families!
Here’s Your Chance
Many of us have been inspired by the posts during The 40 Day fast and here’s our chance to make a tangible difference.
It only takes 5 minutes and 1 dollar.
