Raffle, Day 3 - Thrifty, Nifty, & Wise!

To catch you up to speed: 
- My handsome husband is planting a church. 
- Our family is in the process of moving to Charlestown - a neighborhood in Boston, MA that we believe is in big need of a church. 
- We have a long 33 page church planting plan, but our main plan is to move to Charlestown, settle in for (hopefully) the rest of our lives, and build a community that is centered on the gospel. Check out more here - Gospel Community
- This is (hopefully) our last big public fundraising drive, and our prayer is that we'll be able to raise the money needed to move our family and belongings and get set up in the city to start building community, working, and loving our neighbors. We're so thankful (thankful doesn't begin to say it) for the support of people wide & far - financial support means a lot, but your prayers mean so much more.

Here's how it works: 
- We have some super talented and giving friends who have donated services, items, and gifts for us to raffle off in an effort to raise support. 
- You donate $10 per "raffle ticket" and we'll use an electronic online picker to pick a winner of each item! You can donate to Gospel Community using the paypal button on the side of the my blog or on the Gospel Community website. 
- For each $10 you get one entry. Donate $20, get 2 entries! $100, 10 entries! 
- For a one free entry per raffle item (limit one), facebook or tweet about the fundraiser!
- Please leave a comment naming how many entries you qualify for and which item you want!
- There will be new items up each day, but all items will stay open for raffle until Monday 10/25.

Super excited about today's raffle items! 
It's super sweet when old friends donate some goods, it's just awesome that our future Boston friends want to donate stuff too. But when internet strangers want to donate things, I'm just overwhelmed and grateful! Page, from Thrifty, Nifty, & Wise doesn't really feel like an internet stranger because I love her blog so much - but all the same, we're so thankful for her generosity! 
And just look at all this great stuff! 

 today's raffle item is this WHOLE set. 

are you kidding me cute rosette headband?  

checkbook cover? yes, please! 

altogether that's a reusable coffee sleeve (my fave!), checkbook cover, wallet, and precious headband!

Page says this is a $25 value, I think she might be selling herself short! 
And it can all be yours for $10? 
And you get to further the gospel in the process? 
That's a great deal for a Wednesday. 

Also don't forget Monday's raffle - video by Jared Hogan and precious babyheadband by his talented wife. Or Tuesday's raffle - Carissa's brand new running skirt in your color and size choice! 
Donate, shop, and tell your friends!

....AND I read this and thought of you...

11"Whatever town or village you enter, search for some worthy person there and stay at his house until you leave. 12As you enter the home, give it your greeting. 13If the home is deserving, let your peace rest on it; if it is not, let your peace return to you. 14If anyone will not welcome you or listen to your words, shake the dust off your feet when you leave that home or town.... (Matthew 10)

Peace and Love to you!!
