Fund Raiser #1

So we have a cell member, Andrea, who will be going to Indonesia for a missions trip. Originally slated for 1 whole year, it has now been revised to 6 months. In any case, it still requires a substantial amount of financial support in order to survive in a foreign country for 6 months doing ministry.

Being poor college students, we devised a way to fund-raise for Andrea. Every Sunday, we will sell home-made goods to our church members.

So for our first attempt - we made Cheesecake marbled brownies and oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. We even spent a lot of effort in decoration. I think the total expenditure was about $30. If we sold these baked goods at reasonable prices ($0.75), we would take in about $80-$100. However, since this is a fund-raiser, we upped the prices to $1 for brownies and $2 for 2 cookies. In the end, due to the generosity of many members, we ended up with $290.

For those who can't go on missions, we do all we can to support those who go. We offer time, money, and most importantly, our prayers. Andrea will be leaving at the end of July. We hope she will have time to update her blog so we can know what's going on in Indonesia.

I'll try to post some pictures later.
