haha! found this on flickr... johnny called it (note the quotes) "the find studs of yellow house." Today, I got this letter in the mail from 425 Church St from Ann Arbor and thought to myself, hmm, what could the yellow house guys possibly want? :P :P :P (Yellow house is where the koinonia guys stayed when we visited 2 years ago)
I opened it up and saw that it was this terrific letter from AIV (my fellowship group from college) thanking me for a gift from last fall. As alum, I
really appreciated getting this thank you letter and update.
Here's part of the letter:
"Your contribution has been put to good use and God has truly been at work with our chapter. Here are some highlights from the past year:
- A successful New Student Outreach which introduced hundreds of students to IVCF/AIVCF. Over 1900 new students attended Bubble Tea Bash alone!
- A large group of new students, both freshmen and upperclassmen, have joined our chapter
- Packed large group meetings which have explained to students why Christians pray/evangelize/read the Bible/have fellowship and discipleship
- A greater emphasis on chapter-wide accountability and discipleship
- A new partnership with Kappa Phi Lambda sorority where we held two events that explained God's heart for social justice and raised awareness for Invisible Children and Human Trafficking
- A large end-of-the-semester outreach event where the Gospel was explained to over 170 students
- Being approached by a family to help expand our South Asian ministry
We are very pleased with how God has used our chapter this past year and we are very excited to see where God plans on taking us this upcoming year. Your continued prayer and support for our chapter would be appreciated.
Again, thank you for your generous support of Asian InterVarsity Christian Fellowship.
Sincerely,
Albert Ma
Johnny Lin"
Now that's how you fundraise! Following up with a thank you and update (which is how the apostle Paul did it!) Apparently, jtlin (admin) raised $6k for New Student Outreach, other outreach events, etc. and ended the year very much in the black. Sigh... partnership is such a wonderful thing, and I really enjoy staying connected to the work at umich. Praise God for all the good work He's doing.
:D :D :D
