It’s been two and a half weeks since I put out a plea to all my blog readers, Twitter friends and Facebook peeps to help our friends beat foreclosure.
The plea was simple — can we get 450 people to donate $10 by Nov 1 to help them keep their house.

I was looking over the totals that have come in to help our friends beat foreclosure this week.
It’s encouraging to see.
Folks from 2 different countries, 5 different states, people that have never met my friends, are all pitching in to help in a time of need.

A friend of our podcast, Andrew Jones, has put out a call for help and I hope you’ll take a couple minutes to read and respond.
Just a little bit of background in case you haven’t listened to his chat on our podcast yet…
The Jones family is traveling the world in their truck, exploring the world that God loves and seeking to bring real transformation and change.

In late March 2009 we traveled to Ethiopia to bring home our son Milo. While there, we witnessed the reality of unclean water:

This looks cool.
from the website ::
Quite simply; bake bread, give dough. You can sign up for the campaign, make a donation, upload your bread recipes and document your culinary adventures in the media centre to spread the word. Bloggers can go even further by downloading our widget and tagging five other bloggers to do the same.
I haven’t extensively looked the site over yet, but I like the idea thus far. May have to bust out a bread recipe or two tomorrow.
How to get involved ::
Anyone else checked the site out yet?
