In June, our Director of Operations, Molly McLain, had a milestone birthday. If you've been a member of Facebook in the last five years, you've probably seen Facebook send a notification asking you to run a birthday fundraiser for a non-profit of your choice. Molly elected to try out this feature this time. In addition, she asked invitees to her birthday party to donate to TOI instead of bring gifts.
Now, here's the cool, God-glorifying part of the story. Molly originally set her fundraising goal to $100. Between online gifts, Facebook giving, checks, and cash, $1250 was donated to The Overseas Initiative! That's over 1000% greater than she imagined.
So why are we writing about this? We're writing to praise the Lord. God showed His faithfulness to the ministry during this birthday fundraiser season. He provided these resources and gifts to be used for His glory through the work of TOI in Cuba. We want to celebrate that!
We are so humbled by the many ways the Lord shows His faithfulness and power here at The Overseas Inititative. This birthday fundraiser is only one of them. We are ecstatic and ready to continue sharing more testimonies of His goodness with you!
