Efficiency

This last winter my church, Blue Ash Community Church, set off on a grand challenge. We were out to raise $13,000 to purchase tools and a tool trailer to be used by the Back2Back Haiti Mission.

Lots of fund drives can raise more, but for our new and smaller (scrappier) church $13,000 is a lot of money representing around 10% of our annual budget. It happened. We raised the $13,000 and with the help of the kids we exceeded it raising a total of $13,300.

What was the money for?  Efficiency. We raised the money to purchase a large array of tools and a handmade Haitian trailer to transport them in.

 This trailer allows Back2Back to create an efficient mobile work force that can transform orphanages and LIVES. Every mission trip that goes to Haiti will now be able to get more done and affect more lives because of this.

We had the benefit of the tools while in Haiti and our team transformed lives.


ACTION
I encourage you to take action and join a Back2Back mission team. Or better yet, get a group together and create your own team. You will efficiently change many lives while there... including your own.

Your life will change.
