I've got LOTS of bracelets for you, and since I know that those late-night TV infomercials work so well, I have used Billy Mays as my inspiration to bring you this:

It all started in the back of a van on the way to church camp.
My friends and I decided to make a club that only the people of our choosing would be able to join. Someone thought it would be funny to make our own country, and the name “Swaziland” was suggested. The rest of the week at camp was filled with us as the leaders of our “country” coming up with laws and deciding who was worthy to be a part of our community.
Fast forward to 15 years later, and a country that I had thought I had “made up”...

I'm not just gonna throw a bible at them and run away!
First, a fundraising update: I was able to send my first $1200 payment in, and actually was able to send in $135 more than the minimum! Thanks for your help! There's still time to give!

A $500 Phone Call
Only a day or so into my committing to going to Swaziland, and then realizing I needed to raise $1200 in 12 days, God is already showing how when I take the first step of faith, he helps along the way.
A little background if you don't know about me: I work at a Christian Radio Station called The House FM, and I had mentioned the crazy undertaking that I agreed to yesterday on the air.
Someone was listening and decided to call Brent and...
The First Step of Faith
Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. (Hebrews 11:1) So I'm taking a step of faith, and committing to going to Swaziland in October. Someone had to drop out of the trip, so I decided to step up and help where I can.
I'm excited for what God is going to do through this experience, helping Children's Cup in a country where, according to the CIA Fact Book:
More than one-fourth of the population needed...
