As I jumped into this adventure to raise $1000 for The World Awaits, I wasn’t quite sure what I was getting myself into.  When I left Los Angeles three weeks ago, the concept of The World Awaits was still just an idea and a dream.  This journey has really shaped that dream into something real and tangible.  I have much more clarity about the goals and values of this non-profit, and also what our non-negotiables are:

• To continuously find avenues to love and serve others, both locally and overseas.
• To create opportunities for people to serve according to their strengths and passions.
• To always strive to empower and partner, rather than sending money or giving hand-outs.
• To be organic and flexible in order to grow and thrive in a constantly changing world.
• To always seek out what the world is awaiting.. and adapting to meet those needs.

This is the vision I hope to see flourish over the next several months.  The goal to raise $1000 by September 15th, 2008 is still very much attainable.  According to Fundable, there have been $520 in pledges so far.  To finish we need $480.  OR 48 pledges of $10.00… OR 24 pledges of $20… OR $12 pledges of $40.  I really do believe this possible.

If you also believe it’s possible and would like to help get it started, please make a pledge!  Your time and consideration is deeply appreciated.  Thank you!
