30,000 Steps
Just wanted to update our 30,000 Steps initiative.
We challenged NCCers to walk 30,000 steps to raise $30,000 to build an orphanage in Uganda. I really thought it was a big, hairy, audacious goal. In fact, I thought we should do 15,000 steps for $15,000. Just being honest! I thought it was more realistic. O ye of little faith! Fortunately, we have people on our team with more faith than me! Joel Schimdgall, our Pastor of Outreach, held out for a miracle. And the miracle just happened. As of today, we surpassed our $30,000 goal. We're at $34,125 raised for the orphanage!
Huge thanks to everyone who participated. So amazing to know that we're changing the course of children's lives via our investment. A team of 21 NCCers is headed to Uganda to build the orphanage today.
You can follow their adventures via blog.

Hey Mark, What an awesome adventure. We took our church in PA to Uganda in 2005 to build one of those houses. The church I'm currently serving at built 4. Your team will love that place and fall in love with the kids.

Mark,
I started reading In a Pit... today. I'm really digging it.
Great job with the orphanage.
I'm praying for a miracle to come through on risks in my life as well.
