Sharing the Love

I went to Minneapolis yesterday.

It was pretty fun, I mean, kind of a hefty day-trip but totally worth it. I went with my friend Jon Beckman who is like right there on the team of (all equally-ranked) #1 supporters of me and Dane and FMSC.

We got to meet with Mark Crea, the CEO, for the better part of a day and with Brian Molohon (National Development Director) for quite a while too.

I just want to go ahead and tell you guys, they are LEGIT. I mean they mean it about that place belonging to God. They didn’t sugar coat or feel us out before opening in prayer and talking about miracles and God’s will etc., they just are who they are. They are just doing all they can to be obedient and otherwise trying to stay out of his way. I hope you all can meet them one day.

We are officially changing the way we do things around here. For the sake of maximum involvement, momentum, efficiency, widespread-ness, whatever buzzword you want to pick, we won’t be doing a half million meals in September.

Don’t cry! I know! But it’ll be okay!

Instead of events every six or nine months, we are going to start doing them every two or three months, in different places around town. Several churches came forward after the last event and offered to host an event, Coppell, Lovers Lane, Lewisville, etc., so that’s what we’re going to do! Share the love! Open up whole new neighborhoods and introduce them to FMSC!

Now, I think we could get the people there every two or three months to do pretty sizable events, but raising the money over and over again that fast is going to be tough. So we’ll probably do some 100K-200K events until the fund raising gets a little more steady.

(Nudge, nudge. That’s pretty much talking about… well, you. Not the other guy/lady/kid. I’d say sorry, but I’m not. Not really.)

So look forward to less of a huge gap between events, which will be oh so helpful to me. You can’t really start talking to people about their schedules until at MOST three months ahead of time, which means usually it’s lie low for a few months and then ramp the whole thing back up from almost a stand-still.

As always, please let me know if you’d like to be involved! There’s pretty much no strength/skill set/interest that I can’t use. I need you all!
