The numbers are in!

Thank you to everyone who came last night and made the night a success.

The final numbers are in and we raised a total of $6420!!  This support will help the McBride's as they pray Bella home.  

As they continue on this journey we know that prayer is so much more powerful than even a dollar sign (though the practical help has encouraged their hearts).  You can continue to support the McBride's by praying:

1) For quick processing of their file through IBESR (Haiti's social services agency)
2) For strength to endure the separation from Bella
3) For health and protection for Bella and healing for Jenn (who is sick after this last visit)
4) For health and safety on their next family trip February 1-8
5) Above all, that Bella would come quickly home!!!

As a bonus to the night Pastor Rick Buck from Emmanuel Baptist Church and Pastor Jason Austin from Southshore Bible Church (and the McBride's next door neighbour) have agreed to shave their heads as the funds raised were over the goal of $6000.  Thank you gentlemen and remember, it's getting cold outside so you'll need a good toque!
