Students Gave $631 Wednesday!
As soon we posted the idea on Facebook, the news went viral - 16 people shared the status to get the word out that ACF would hold a fundraiser and donations would be matched! In God's sovereignty, we had already planned to make Filipino food this week with Gina, a Filipino freshman so when we decided to do the fundraiser, all the plans began to fall into place. As students poured in we invited them to participate & take action through giving... they responded not only through giving, but through prayer as well.
- Back to Gina - Gina helped cook the food for over 50 people. By the end of the night she was in tears... she even left that way. When I asked her if something was wrong she said "I am just so touched."
- The Filipino American Student Association members showed up and had the goal of raising $200 tonight. In just 2 short hours the students tripled it. With the matches so far we already have raised $1,648!
- Later a Filipino American student posted "Deep stuff from Mr. Adam J Leong tonight! #reflecting"
- Deeper trust was built with FASA community and Mizzou as a whole.
If you are still interested in matching up to a certain amount or matching the entire $631, there is still time to do so! Just click on the link below. If you chose to match, could you also let us know so we can share with students?
Again, thanks so much for your prayers and partnership. Praying that God is meeting you in this season of Thanksgiving!
