Gentlemen,
Okay, so I meant to bring this up during guys small group but I sadly forgot.
For spring break, I will be coing with my church mission team to Reynosa, Mexico. To give you an idea about Reynosa, it is a fast-growing city close to the border that has seen an increase in industry. This has attracted a lot of workers but unfortunately the city hasn't been able to keep up with housing and infrastructure and thus, ther are a lot of slums. We will be working in an orphanage doing everything from construction to teaching kids.
What I need your help in is fundraising. What we're doing is a bowl-a-thon for our mission team. Basically, our mission team plays 2 games and each member of the team is sponsered. The way to sponsor would be through either a one-time donation, or by sponsoring per pin knocked down (meaning that if you sponsored 25 cents per pin, and I knock down 100 pins, then total pledge would be $25).
In a nutshell, we are playing 2 games. So the total number of pins during those two games that I knocked down multiplied by the ammount pledge would be the total pledge. Just to let you know, I haven't bowled in a year, so I don't know how I'll do, will I get 300...no. haha.
So here's the thing. The bowl-a-thon is today and If you want to pledge per pin afterward, that would be welcomed (I'll post up my score here). However, if you want to offer a one-time donation (the most popular option at the moment), that would be just as welcomed.
Most of all though, I NEED YOUR PRAYERS. This is my first overseas mission trip and I'm nervous and excited. I know i'm going to face difficulties over there and I need your prayers in patience, strength and confidence to spread the love of God to others and most of all, to worship God.
Please let me know if you're interested in supporting me! Thank you in advance for your prayers and finnancial assistance!
With much love,
Jonathan Leo
