What an incredible night we had last night!  We finished out an amazing summer of Just Add Power with our Dinner & Auction and God really showed up.  Going into the night it had already already been an amazing summer.  We were already past our goal of $10,000.  We had over $11,000 by yesterday afternoon so I couldn’t wait to see what happened at our Dinner/Auction.

Going into the weekend we weren’t sure what to expect.  We had only given out 80+ tickets but knew God still wanted to do something big so we went ahead and planned for 200 people.  Once again, I think we underestimated what God can do.  By the end of the morning on Sunday we’d given out all of our 250 tickets and heard a few additional RSVPs on top of that.  With a little last minute scrambling by some great volunteers we cooked some more food, setup some extra chairs and watched the place fill up.

Throughout the night we had some fun together, watched some videos (which we’ll post some of here once they are updated with pics from last night) and heard some cool testimonies from our Jr. High Students.  At the end of the night, once all of our auction items had been purchased and offerings had been given, our total reached just over $17,850!

We’ll be sending the money to Kenya soon but if anyone has any final donations you can turn them into the church office (just make sure Just Add Power is in the memo).  As of right now, we’ve almost reached the $25,000 that they need to not only buy the generator (our original goal of $10,000) but fully outfit their facilities with lights & electricity and also to take advantage of solar power.

It is awesome to be a part of the body of Christ.  When we trust God and work together, amazing things can happen!
