An Exciting UPDATE

So, as you know, we are now in 2014.  The last day of the year was pretty fun and exciting!  We had planned a party to celebrate getting to 15% of our fundraising.  On New Year's Eve we were amazed because we saw the fundraising go from 16% to 18% in ONE DAY!  It was so fun to keep going to our donation page and seeing the number changing!  Thank you so much, everyone, for the donations!

The party was really fun!  We made marshmallow guns and we had to hold the dog back from continually eating the marshmallows because they were everywhere!




We made a snowman game board and pom poms that looked like snowballs and we made a snowman-cupcake-making-station.

It was fun to have our friends over and my talented friend, Michael, did yo-yo tricks and a magic show!

Livvy and I can't wait to see what happens this year with our project.  We are working on some ideas!  I have a couple of cake orders coming up too.  Keep praying for us but mostly, please pray for the people that will go to this clinic because they really need to come to know Jesus and this might be the only place they hear about Him.  I also think we should pray for the missionaries that will work there.  It is actually a very dangerous place so let's all start to pray for them to be brave and strong Christians and for God to help them be safe when they work there.

PARTY PARTY PARTY ALERT! WE JUST HIT 15%!!!!

WE JUST HIT 15%!!!!!!!  WE ARE HAVING A PARTY ON NEW YEAR'S EVE!!!!!  IF YOU WANT TO PARTY WITH US, GO TO MY FACEBOOK PAGE (GABE THE CAKE MAN) and message me!!!!!!  WE WANT YOU TO COME PARTY WITH US!  And since we are on a roll, don't stop now!  Keep your giving coming in!  We might be able to get to 50%!  WE CAN DO THIS TEAM!!!  THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!

Let's Have a PARTY!!

Hey Everybody,
Livvy and I are almost to 13%!  (We just need $68)  We have set a goal to have a party when we hit 15%.  If those of you that have said you want to be number 1 team members could donate before New Year's Eve, we would be OVER 15%!   If any of you like to party, then get on little doggie and donate.  (See my cowboy video on youtube if you don't recognize that line)  Also, thank you so much to Katie Steineker.  We would love to meet you!  There have been several donations given to the project in your name for Christmas!  That was pretty cool!  (For those of you who don't know, apparently Katie asked for her Christmas presents to be donations to the hospital project!  Click the green button and see the donations page.  It is super cool!)

Merry Christmas from me and Livvy and we hope you have a great year!  Please don't forget to pray for us.  Don't just pray we get the money.  Could you also start to pray for the people that will get to go to this hospital to know Jesus?  Thanks and Happy New Year!

Livvy's Letter to Phil Wickham

Hey everybody,
Livvy and I have a list of people to write to.  Livvy already wrote a letter to Phil Wickham but we don't know how to get it to him.  If anyone has any ideas, please tell us.  We tried to put it in a Facebook message but we didn't hear back from him.  My mom tweeted it to him but we are not so sure he will see if from that either.  If anybody knows how to find his real address, please tell us.  Here's the letter.

The Results of the Chick-fil-a Night

First of all let me thank everyone that came to eat at Chick-fil-a!  It was really cool that you did that and Livvy and I are super happy that we got to do the fundraiser!  I made a cake to give away just for fun and we had a donation container that Livvy had made.  Just from that we got $75!  Then, today we found out that Chick-fil-a is going to give us a check for $140!  That is a lot of chicken sandwiches!  Here are some pictures of some of the people that came and some of the people that put it on.  I am also putting up a picture of the cake I made.  Keep checking back often to see what is happening.  And please keep praying for us to figure out what God wants us to do next to raise the money!

Chick-fil-a was nice enough to let us use a table!

This is one of my church leaders and his family!  They were the first ones to eat there last night!

This is the owner, Matt Briggs

This is Angela and she set up the event.

These are my friends, the Hesters.

This is Mrs. Heffley.  She has really helped me and Livvy to get the word out!

You can see Livvy's donation can.  The other cup with no straw was for the drawing for the cake.

These are some of the students from The Refuge!!

I'm starting to make the cake...

I'm using the shell tip to make the frosting piping around the base.

Writing the letters and making the c into the Chick-fil-a chicken...

That is what it looked like.

Sorry cows...last night it was cake, not chicken!

Come to Chick-fil-a to Help Us Build the Hospital

You will need to show this on your phone or whatever, so that your food counts.  Whatever they make at Chick-fil-a in the Mall of St. Matthews that night will be donated to Samaritan's Purse toward the hospital!  PLEASE COME!  TELL YOUR FRIENDS!  And, if you WEAR GREEN (or an ugly Christmas sweater), I will have a special cake that I am going to draw names for.  You won't need to buy anything to be in on the drawing.  This is just for fun!

OH MY GOSH! We Just Hit 10%!!!!

Last night one of my mom's friends told us that she is planning a spaghetti dinner and that she already had everything including the decorations for a fund raiser! So last night we prayed that we would find a place to hold it and that it would go well. My dad and Livvy and I had just been talking about where we could hold the dinner but at that point we did not know my mom's friend was actually so close to getting it together.  Also a few weeks ago, I had said that we should have a party when we hit 10%! Well, LAST NIGHT AS WE WERE PRAYING SOMEON DONATED $1,000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So that MUST be a sign from God telling us not to worry where we will hold this party because he has this in da' bag. So whoever you are $1,000 donor, you are an answer to prayer! Thank you so much to all of you who are going to the Chik-fil-a event!  

One more special thing!  These two cute little guys are helping to fundraise now!  See, anyone can be a helper!  Please, if God is telling you to give to this project, do it.  It doesn't matter how much you give.
