The Report Is In

I just received the Jan-June BGMC Giving report and I'm excited to see we are ahead of our total compared to last year over $31,000. However, I don't want to get into a comfortable state that BGMC will just continue on without additional creativity and passion from you - the leader.
Please consider the following ideas to help your kids continue to make a difference for BGMC.
Have a decorate your buddy contest - have each kid come on Sunday with their barrel full and decorated. Have a contest and award for the heaviest (only money inside, and whatever else outside).
Help get pastors and business men at our fundraising events
- Pierre Pheasant Hunt (flyer) in September
- Mexico Deep Sea Fishing Trip (flyer) in January 2011
Once you arrive at the event location all of your expenses and activities are covered provided you make a commitment to raise/contribute funds to BGMC over the next few weeks. The projects for the Pheasant Hunt start at $1,200 and in Mexico they begin at $5,000.
We are working on finalizing our list for both of these events now - please email me the names of pastors and business men who have confirmed.
Set your own faith goal.
- Christie and I are setting a faith goal for BGMC and invite you to join with us to lead your kids in that way.
- When you make a goal you speak about BGMC with more passion and understanding because you know what the kids are experiencing as well.
Do something insane!
- We've seen people shave heads (Brian Anderson in Hill City)
- Swallow Gold Fish (Ashley Anderson)
- Sky Dive (in other districts)
- Take the Polar Plunge (me next Feb if we raise the money)
- Live on top of billboards or buildings (in other districts)
Would you be willing to look foolish and lay it all on the line to raise some money for missions?
Talk with your pastor about a Sunday offering.
Set up a date now for later in November/December to invite the adults to match what the kids have raised and given throughout the year.
Be creative.
We serve a creative God. I know he'll give you your own ideas to make a difference for BGMC!
