Last night, our church sponsored a benefit dinner and concert for us and our work in Ireland. Tables were set up and huge amounts of spaghetti, garlic bread and salad were prepared.
As we were planning for this event, the thought crossed my mind that we were getting a bit close to Christmas and our attendance could be affected. Well, it was.
But here's the deal: Although the crowd was small, it was such a sweet evening. After dinner, Beth and I did a mini concert, then we shared about our ministry followed by Q&A. We then finished up the evening with a time of worship.
The whole evening was a win in my mind. It was like sitting around with family and having a good time together. There was a common spirit there and God remained the focus of the night.
For as small as the crowd was we were amazed at the response we received in financial support. Not only did we have a healthy amount raised from the event itself, we also have been able to add several Ministry Partners (monthly supporters) to our list.
If you weren't able to make it, we will have another event in a few month's time.
