Hi everyone,

I just want to encourage you to check out Pennies for Heaven, the website for a great project that I'm blessed to be a part of. We're working on some really cool stuff for the site, including a blog/journal, so check back often for updates!

Here's a bit of info about Pennies for Heaven:

"In November 2005, ACTION Impact Missions (AIM), a nationwide discipleship and creative evangelism ministry, received an offering of $1400. After prayerfully considering the best use for the money, AIM decided to give $100 to each of the fourteen AIM teams across the USA and issued a challenge: to multiply the money to further the Kingdom of God (Matt 25:14-30)! The local AIM Branson team has taken its $100 and converted it into 10,000 pennies, which the team is distributing throughout the community, requesting a $1 donation for each penny. Every aspect of the project is organized by a group of young people from the Branson team who are committed to the goal of Pennies for Heaven: seeing Branson’s tourists come to know Christ!

7 million tourists visit Branson each year. These visitors think they are coming to experience Branson’s shows and entertainment, but we believe that God has brought them to the area to hear the Good News of Jesus Christ! Our goal is to get the Gospel of Jesus Christ into the hearts of each of these tourists, inviting them to then share their new faith with others. Through this “ripple effect,” Pennies for Heaven has the potential to affect lives all across the country! A single penny, or even a single dollar, may be small change, but when we put $10,000 together, they can make a BIG CHANGE in the lives of people all across America!"

So yeah. I'm really excited about this ministry, and I'm believing that it's going to make  a huge change, not just in Branson, but throughout the country! I'm one of the "group of young people" that's leading the project, and it's been a great learning and growing experience for me.
