Bed Push…Grand Total!

Posted by Glenn

Well the people of my local town really shone on Saturday, with their outstanding generosity to the appeal.

With many thanks to my very enthusiastic, and hard-working team of helpers (a few of whom who were not caught on camera), and a huge vote of appreciation to all who passed through the town, and gave so generously….we raised a fantastic £3,927…(which was then made up to £3,936!)

As if that wasn’t good enough…two individuals, separately, and unknown to each other, wanted us to reach the £4,000 mark! Resulting in a Grand Total of £4,075!

I would also like to take this opportunity to thank the manager of Tesco’s, Ballymoney, who gave permission to collect there, and our baby-sitters who looked after Jed and Kezia so well !

Looks like I’ll have to stretch my original target of £4,000! Fantastic!

    Joanna and Armen…I knew when I read that verse, before we went out that morning, that God was going to bless our day!
    I have read, and re-read that verse since, and it is amazing, so applicable!
    I was beaming all day, so sure that God had spoken.

    And yes Joanna, your help was much appreciated also! Everybody worked together so well!

    It was just great to speak to you on Saturday night and hear about the brilliant amount raised. Another confirmation from the Lord that he is in control of everything and can do more than we can ask or think. God Bless Val

    [...] gut feeling was correct, and the competition was a hoax). But, I’m glad to be able to say, the target of £4,000 has been reached! The target has therefore been pushed to £10,000 (that’s over AU$21,000 for you aussies. [...]

    what can I say…… Ps 40 v 5 …… “Many, O Lord my God, are thy wonderful works which thou hast done, and thy thoughts which are to us-ward; they cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee: if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered.”

    They surely are “more than can be numbered” Ruth
    It was great for me to have such confirmation that it is God’s will for me to do this.
