DfaD Update - 12/23/09

Looks like it's that time again. :)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Current Donation Progress: $19,465
Amount Left to Raise for Goal: $4,535
Percent of Goal Raised: 81%
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

As can be seen, we have shot up about $3,000 since last week; that is phenomenal! Thank you everyone for your work and help!

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

Now, while I'm very excited with the amount we've raised by Christmas, we still have a little over $4,000 left to raise in order to have enough for three wells in Darfur. I still need your help! Again, no matter what your position, there is SOMETHING you can do to spread the word about DfaD! For those of you already promoting: THANK YOU so much for your work! The people of Darfur will be very thankful for your gift of time and effort. : )

DfaD Update: TWO WELLS! - 12/16/09

As can be seen by the title, this week's update is a very special one! To begin with (as usual), the current stats:

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

Current Donation Progress: $16,785
Amount Left to Raise for Goal: $7,215
Percent of Goal Raised: 70%

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

YES! We have now officially received enough money for the funding of TWO WELLS in Sudan! Thank you all so much for your donations and support! The Lord has blessed us richly. Now, on to the third well! :D

Ok, so we are nearing the end of the year, and we still have about $6,000 left to raise (counting the Rebelution's gift of 1k, which I haven't received yet). We are now moving into the final stretch of the race; let's push all the harder to finish strong! No matter who you are or where you are in life, I encourage you to do SOMETHING towards spreading the word (not just about DfaD but the global water crisis in general), no matter how small; every little…

DfaD Update! - 12/9/09

Well, another week rolls by, and it's time for another DfaD update!
This happens to be a long one, but I encourage you to read it all; there are several exciting and important things I need to announce/mention. ;)

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

Stats:
Current Donation Progress: $14,632
Amount Left to Raise by Christmas: $9,368
Percent of Goal Raised: 61%
Days Remaining Until Christmas: 18

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

As can be seen, we have had quite a nice jump up from last week; thank you all so much!

Now, I also know that the Rebelution reached their $1,000 goal, which means that Alex and Brett will be matching that with another 1k, which I have not received yet. Thanks so much everyone connected with the Rebelution; you guys are great!

In addition, I know for a fact that the FCA has received at LEAST 1k (but they still have alot coming in here towards Christmas), so that means that WE HAVE RAISED ENOUGH MONEY FOR TWO WHOLE…

Going on TV!

This is just a quick blog entry to say that I will be going on live TV tomorrow on the Good Morning Memphis show (I am sadly unaware of the channel though). The time will be 7:45 AM CST. Hopefully I can get it recorded so I can get it up on the web for you guys to see. :) 

I would greatly appreciate your prayers, as this is a big opportunity for DfaD. I just want to relax and have a fun time with it, while at the same time effectively promoting the cause.

I'll update you on how it went tomorrow!
