Together, we can!

I want to issue a challenge today. You know how we love to show God's kindness to our community in practical ways. Recently, we led two Egg Hunts in our neighborhoods and community. It was a step of faith for us to move away from the "big exciting" Texas Motor Speedway, to the "smaller, more intimate" setting of neighborhoods. It was still huge! Over 1600 people participated in our neighborhood Egg Hunts and we were able to partner with two local churches (one A/G, one baptist), a neighborhood association, and others in pulling off these "Acts of Kindness". We know that the kids and families were blessed because we got to talk to many of them. In fact, on Resurrection Sunday, we had seven visiting families! God is Good!

Now for the challenge. The Egg Hunts cost about a 1/3 of last year's budget, but we were unable to raise much in outside support for this outreach. We are already moving forward in our next outreach for Mother's Day in a little over a week. However, we still have a $600 bill that we need to pay, left over from the Egg Hunts.

In prayer, I felt that I should come to you, our New Day Family, Friends, and past supporters. The challenge was, that if only 30 individuals and families stepped forward and gave just $20, that the need would be met! 30 people is only 10% of my "friends" on facebook! Now, here's the cool part. We actually only need 28 people! Joni and I had already both committed, and in less than 24 hours of doing so, someone gave us $40 cash! I didn't tell them what we were doing, they just said the Lord told them to do it!

2 down, 28 to go for $20. Will you be one of those?

If you will be, please email me at newdaydfw@mac.com and let me know it's on the way. You can mail it to:

It's all tax deductible. Question. What if we go over? Then the overflow will go into upcoming outreaches and immediate needs, like Mother's Day, now that would be really exciting!!

Thank you for your prayers, love, and support.

Yours for the harvest,
