another party with a purpose

a few months ago we started having parties with a purpose. the idea is this, have a party and spread the word to all who attend about a mission need and then raise the money. we usually ask people to put in around $10 to meet the need. tonight we had a "party with a purpose". here is the story.

last month we felt like we needed to bless a friend of mine who is a missionary. he is a very different kind of missionary. he moved his family to hollywood and ministers to actors and people who are in the film and tv industry. he is influencing those who influence the world. anyway, i called travis and said that we wanted to do something for his family. i wanted to know what needs they had that we could meet. i said we wanted to do something for them around june. he said that he had an idea. he and his wife delaine are expecting a surprise baby in june and they needed a shower. i said, "done". tonight we have about 20 or so people here having a party and we are going online to target.com and buying things on their gift registry. we are also collecting money that we will take to them next week so they can get all of what they need. it was really amazing to see how God brought this all together.

here is how you can get involved. go to www.target.com click on the registry. search for travis crim as the father and you will find the registry. you can buy 1 or 2 things and it will ship to them. it is easy. you will need to set up an account, it takes 2 minutes. this is going to blow them away when strangers from all over the country give them a shower. i cannot think of a better way to spend my tax rebate.
