| Hanna by Nathan Golden |
The Forsaken Children’s total end of year fundraising goal of $24,000 was set at the end of October. When that goal was set, it automatically seemed impossible to attain. Hoping to make the goal more manageable, I decided to campaign for just obtaining what is needed for Onesimus’ Halfway Homes in 2011 - $12,000. Since the final email promoting this, Hanna's Challenge, went out early Wednesday, Dec. 29 God has shown how much bigger He is than human expectations and efforts.
I am in awe of what God did despite my attempts to make things a bit more "possible". We raised $28,007.23 in end of year gifts.
I'm done limiting God! I had set the thermometer at $28,000 just because the program required that I choose an amount. God brought that in plus $7.23! On behalf of The Forsaken Children's board of directors, our partner project, Onesimus, and of course Hanna, Thank you for giving, promoting, and praying.
