A Matching Grant and Rachel's Forgetfulness

Wow. So much for that "15-minute-per-week" thing, huh? I totally forgot about last week's update. Even now, as Elliott leads a discipleship group in our dining room, I scramble to get these few sentences out as Gwen dozes in and out of sleep beside me. I'm learning how to type with one hand, as the other hand must be on "binky duty" (Gwen still hasn't mastered the technique of holding the binky in her mouth by herself).

Anyhoo.

So I wanted to share with you a super exciting opportunity with have this summer in support raising. A number of generous supporters have banded together to raise $2350 as a grant for us. Our job is to match that grant by August 13 at midnight. As I type (with one hand, I might add), we have about $700 raised of the match.

If you want to give and help us reach our goal, please follow this link, click donate online, scroll down to staff member "Simko, Elliott & Rachel," and donate. Please email us at elliottsimko at gmail dot com to let us know of your donation for the match.

Woohoo! God is so creative, and this is our creative attempt to raise money this summer so that we can focus more on ministry once the school year starts. I hope you can help us!

And this post was a little shy of 15 minutes, but now I'm going to see if Gwenny will let me use both hands to do some font work.

God bless!
