This Halloween, DC had it's first (hopefully annual) Halloween Bash/Fundraiser. While, it wasn't quite the success we hoped it would be - we did still manage to raise a few funds and have a good time doing it. Josh and I, being the last minute procrastinators that we are went as a millionare (I'm made of money) and someone with multiple personalities. (And spent a grand total of $2 on "costumes") I would have to say that my favorite part was seeing all the little dressed up kiddos.
Just a little update on DC. Most of you know that DC is the youth center in the mall where Josh has been working for the last 18 months. DC is really unique in that it takes a place where kids are already hanging out and uses that opportunity to build relationships, have a positive influence, and share the love of Christ.
All that to say - they are about to have some big changes. DC is having a lot of trouble with funding and it looks like we may have to go to being a fully volunteer run organization. This will mean that the hours DC is open are cut back to weekend only. This month is kind of crucial to the whole process, so we would love to have you praying with us.
1) We need volunteers to make it happen. More people will have to be committed or it just won't work.
2) Josh and Jack are both now looking for another source on income. Since we are committed to where we are, this will mean something outside of his degree (which has been challenging so far).
3) The leadership of DC need wisdom to know if this needs to be a transition or an ending. Part of that will depend on volunteers, but even without salaries, rent will have to be paid.
Thanks, friends. I'll keep you updated. :)
