Last week we issued a 
challenge and got a great response. Thanks so much to the 550 travelers who responded to our Christmas fund raiser for Bread for the World. Collectively we raised over $64,000 to help power Bread’s work in explaining to our Congress the needs of our nation’s poorest, homeless, and hungry people. We all want to get our fiscal house in order. And Bread has been very effective in its advocacy work encouraging our government not to balance our budget by cutting vital services to our nation’s most needy.
As part of my personal challenge, I promised to thank those contributing $100 to BFTW with a special Christmas gift (of our European Christmas book, DVD, and CD). We mailed out 550 thank you packages today so you all should be getting it in a few days. I’d love to have our initiative reach $70,000 for Bread for the World.
There’s still time to join us. If you’d like to help, donate by noon on December 16. I’ll pop the three gifts in the mail to you within 24 hours of your donation and you’ll still get it before Christmas. Watch this video to learn more about the gift, and donate directly to BFTW to join us in this important project.
Thanks again and Merry Christmas.
