Fundraisers, Mountain Climbers, and Stewardship or "I'm far from bored!"
Hello faithful readers, I write today with much to share of the past two weeks in Calgary. One of the unexpected benefits of writing updates on a regular basis is that it forces me to consider the variety and frequency of blessings and lessons that occur in such a short time. I'll highlight three such experiences below. eMi Dessert Night and Silent Auction On Saturday November 1st, Engineering Ministries International hosted it's annual fall fundraiser, a silent auction dessert night! Having the unique perspective of being 'behind the scenes' I did not realize the vast amount of organization and effort required to orchestrate such an event. The purpose of the fundraiser was to increase awareness in Calgary about eMi and also raise necessary funds to support future project trips to Cambodia and Haiti this upcoming January.
