Doing alright

Things are well. At least apart of that stress I'd been in the beginning of the week. Great team meeting last night and the whole vision of this campaign is becoming so much clearer for us all. The details on how to function like funds, etc, aren't clear, but we're pushing through.
Let's see I'll start from the beginning of the day.
I met with Cristiand and Daneeka in the am, and we prayed, worked on some things like faxes for givengain, getting contacts for schools/churches local, and me especially getting all the facts for the acronym. Then I ran to fish hoek for getting snacks for the meeting, and looked for bday cake for Cristian. Couldn't find one to fit in my bag and wouldn't melt on my way back from fish hoek so I bought cookies and candy. Then I rushed back to meet everyone at the Muizenberg pavilion to have I love Muizenberg day to clean up! I caught Kenny and Colins on the way, and their trip to the dang department to get their visa was hectic and they sent the poor boys home needing more things. SOOOo, I had to make some made calls to doctors and xray offices, and they're there right now today getting that sorted. Amen for their efforts.
I cleaned and while cleaning the streets I spent time getting to know one of the current DTS students, Sebastian. He's incredible! Here a SAfrican, passionate, desires so much change not only in his very own country, but in his city Rustenberg. He just was inspired by me and he also returned the favor for his young 21 year of age. I just loved to hear his passions for journalism, construction, mobilizing youth and providing opportunities and what he's already done. Dont' give up on SAfrica was his motto.
I then tried to sleep, but again like I haven't been able to I just got up and showerd to prepare for our meetin glastn ight. Suzie surprised me and stopped by for the meeting. So we went to base to prepare and then all met at Cristian's by 7pm. It was Colins, Kenny, Daneeka, me, Suzie, Cristian, and then our dear friends Iain and Ketanie showed up. It was awesome! We all decided upon some great things. We even split into some groups and had the film concepts running and then our tshirts running.
We've decided to go with the grey tshirts, grey background on website etc. We loved teh play pause stop concept. Suzie had some incredible short film ideas that she had already been constructing with.
We were thinking of brands, like bracelets for those who will be taking the 'value' or 'abstain' pledges and everyone came up with this great idea, to have something, not 'cheap' but nice that people purchase. I thought, brilliant! I mean if someone's going to go out of their way to decide they want to be bold and say they're abstaining from sex outside of marriage or endorse their own marriage, then they would take the value in purchasing a bracelet. SO, we still need that created and then 'sponsored' for us. BUT, if the bracelets were sponsored then we could have the proceeds go towards our 'safe house' fundraiser as well! Ha! Details details! Tshirt ideas:
Play pause stop. (abstain2010 on the back)
June 11th - July 11th "Where are your children?"

Well it was an enjoyable meeting and inspiring for all I could see. The wholistic concept as well was great. I even asked Ian if we could rock into his youth group next Friday night and practice our powerpoint there. I said we need to start to get loud locally asap.
I'm meeting with website guy tomorrow and we've got acronym to go. Givengain also approved us for a not for profit organization to join their donating network, just not sure how it works with internationally. Hopefully it's ok.
I was going to climb table mt this morning, it's Cristian's bday, but they were leaving so early and I haven't been sleeping, but I woke up early anyways and couldn't go back to sleep so here I am trying to get somethings done and possibly baking for Cristian. My friend invited me box seats to the stormers tonight though, so tough decision to go or not.
Lastly I would like some prayer. Global Day Of Prayer is next weekend, and I've been invited by many to go, and especially showcase our ABSTAIN2010, (which I'm fearful I don't even have business cards yet, but getting there and COULD have enough by then) but trying to pray about funds to go. It's huge, and teh actual day of prayer in teh stadium will be powerful. However these events are costly. I emailed Grace Samson who recommended I go and she's from YWAM national leadership, and asked if all 3 events were separate costs, and also if there was some sort of discount or anything possible. Not certain what to do.
Anyways, I appreciate everything, please enjoy the weekend!
Andie, catch me up with you!
