Chances are some of you will read this, think i’m crazy and then ignore it.

But… maybe some of you won’t.. and that’s what I’m aiming for.

How many of you can honestly say you know every single person and keep in touch with them on a frequent basis that you’re friends with on online
Wait, what is that? None of you? Yea.. didn’t think so.
Chances are there are at least a few people-probably from your past- that you have added on here and really the only contact you have with that person is your few comments. Admit it, I’m right.

Well, the truth is I too have those people in my life.
One is Evan. Evan is a youth pastor from Illinois who I see, along with his wife Katie, usually once a year at camp… sometimes more if we run in at youth convention or something of the sort.

Today I got on facebook and Evan had an interesting update about being at the bank about a counter-offer and had a link with it. So I clicked it. And discovered he and Katie were on a mission to buy a house. And with it, a simple appeal. 2500 people, a donation of $2 a piece= $5000 and a house they more then deserve.

Sure, you don’t know Evan and Katie. But these people have dedicated their lives to loving on students and reaching out to them. If ever two people have been deserving of something like this, they are. So maybe you will never know that personally… but what’s it going to cost you to be able to in ways you can’t imagine bless two people?

We talk about loving people practically. We talk about meeting needs and caring for people… here’s a chance to really kind of anonymously do just that.

Check out the link.. think about it….

“All the believers were one in heart and mind. No one claimed that any of his possessions was his own, but they shared everything they had. With great power the apostles continued to testify to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and much grace was upon them all. There were no needy persons among them.” Acts 4:32-33

This is a chance for us to not be such strangers after all….
