Mission Maasai, or How Darn Cool is God?
First of all, let me say that pictures will get posted when I have time. I should not even be typing this right now as I have other things to do. All 100+ photos will be posted sometime very soon.
When I got to the Ferst Center at 7:00, I was shocked to see that it was already packed where food was being served. Chick-Fil-A, Einstein’s Bagels, and a few other places had donated tons of food. AirTran donated 2 round trip tickets to anywhere in the U.S. and raffle tickets were sold for $5 each. I bought a few of those - didn’t win though. The concert was amazing! Suburban Desperados, the band that plays every Thursday at CCF was incredible! They sounded so good, and when Dan Richard sang and played harmonica, holy cow! That boy is dripping with talent! The Californias were up next. They were so much fun and so full of energy. People were dancing all over the place! After that we took about 10 minutes and asked people to pledge money and call friends and ask them as well. Then Sean McConnell played. We counted all of the money that had been donated and pledged.
$15,000+
Seriously! We received $15,000 in one night! Keep in mind that $10 feeds a person for a month and $20 buys a family a goat. This is so amazing! It definitely would not have been possible without God!
Pictures to come very soon. I want to go to bed.
