Update - New Short Story! - 11/29/09

Greetings friends! Looks like it's time for another update; we've got several exciting things going on at the moment!

-------------------------------------------------------
As usual, we will begin with the stats:

Current Donation Progress: $13,215
Amount Left to Raise by Christmas: $10,785
Percent of Goal Raised: 55%
Days Into Project: 90
Days Remaining Until Christmas: 26
-------------------------------------------------------

Ok, so we have about one month left and apparently a little less than 11k left to raise. However, taking into account the Rebelution's matching donation and the Fellowship of Christian Athletes' involvement, my estimation is that we actually have about $2,000 - $3,000 left to raise. (That's alot better!)

-------------------------------------------------------

Now, I am happy to inform you all about a great new opportunity to help spread the word about DfaD and to get others thinking about the needs of the world. I have written a fictional short story…

Status Update - 11/23/09

Greetings friends! Looks like it's time for another update, and I am excited to say that with the Rebelution blog entry, things have been hoping lately!

Current Donation Progress: $11,900
Amount Left to Raise by Christmas: $12,100
Percent of Goal Raised: 49%
Days Into Project: 84
Days Remaining Until Christmas: 38

Alrighty, so it looks like we've jumped up a good bit from last update; thank you all so much who helped! We still have donations from the Rebelution coming in (not to mention Alex and Brett's matching 1k), and the FCA is still doing fundraising. We still have a good ways to go, but there are alot of people out there doing promotion!

All-in-all I must say that I am encouraged; I am very confident that we will reach our goal by Christmas. Thanks for all of your help everyone, and keep up the good work!


With that, I will wish you a Happy Thanksgiving! : )

Sincerely,
Joshua Guthrie, Director

Rebelution Blog Post!

Well, the Harris brothers have done it again! Yesterday (I didn't find out until today) Alex and Brett Harris posted a new blog entry displaying the DfaD cause on their very influential website, TheRebelution.com. In addition to getting the word out to people about the cause, Alex and Brett have (once again) decided to match other Rebelutionaries' donations up to $1,000! Since yesterday (a 24 hour period) they have raised a little over $1,000! (this does include the Harris Brothers' matching gift) They have challenged the Rebelution to raise $2,000 together; last year they hit that number in a week, and I can't wait to see how fast they'll be this year!

I would like to give a huge shout out and THANK YOU to Alex and Brett Harris for once again helping the DfaD cause! You guys are super, and we serve an awesome God indeed!!!
