Last week, Dave Bindewald invited me to join him on a relief trip to Japan. Our church, First Baptist Chruch, Lexington Presbyterian Church, and Calvary Chapel are now working together to raise funds for Japan together and Dave & I will have the privilege of personally taking supplies, helping with clean up and counseling the victims.
In only a week, God has done some amazing things for this project!
Last week, one man donatd the amount for my entire plane ticket.....$1200
My wife &I went looking for beanie babies for the evacuated children & the store worker donated 172 free beanie babies of her own! Then Sunday two more people offered beanie babies for the trip.
I was handed a donation of $300 to buy things I may personally need on this trip.
My wife's exercise class at Saxe Gotha collected $750 generous amount for the trip.
The total collected is now at $4,000 and we haven't even had our official collection at FBC or Calbary Chapel yet.
Through Lexington Presbyterian, Dave has collected over $10,000.
I think God is using Lexington to touch many people in Japan!
This is AWESOME to see God's people working together to spread love! Will be praying for this trip!

Thank you for the prayers! Yes, it is good when we can pull together for a common cause and has been a great encouragement to us to see it happen.
