My friend Jimmy is going to be leaving for Africa in 9 DAYS with Athletes in Action… thing is, those plane tickets aren’t cheap and if you’ve ever raised support for anything like this you know how much every little bit counts.
Having known Jimmy for ten plus years thanks to our rad youth group (Calstumi, Logan County Dwellers?), I can attest to the fact that he’s a wonderful Christian guy who will be a real asset on this trip. They will be working with youth in Uganda and Kenya during the 3 week trip, among other things. As you can see from the photos he provided from his trip to Kenya last summer, he’s a relative kid magnet.
If any of you have a heart for Africa or a desire from God to give a few bucks to help Jimmy get on that plane in 9 DAYS, feel free to donate by clicking HERE and entering his code which is: 5485931. If you’d like to give an amount less than $50, send it through paypal to pocketbeagles@gmail.com and I will write him a check for it. If you give through AIA’s website, you will be able to write it off on your taxes too.
You can also become friends with Jimmy Hoffman and hear all about his trip by friending him through my facebook page (he makes for a pretty good facebook friend too *grin*)
What wonderful work! I can’t support Jimmy right now financially, but will pray for him and his work in Africa! He is a real-life Superman! I’m on facebook… may need to find both you and him and “friend you.” I have really enjoyed reading your blog, Kate. 🙂 You are a very gifted writer, and the recipes and book suggestions are top-notch. Thanks for sharing!
