SFC Schemes

So many of you know I'm raising money for Sheaves for Christ, but most of you don't know my more outrageous plan. So tonight, as I will be hitting many of you up for funds at campmeeting this week, I will unveil my crazy scheme. First I have to put a little plug about what SFC is. Sheaves for Christ supports missions efforts at home and abroad. SFC supports Tupelo Children's Mansion. Sheaves for Christ supports the Kingdom of God.


So I thought about it and thought about it trying to figure out what I could do to raise money for this great cause. And then I came up with it. Now most of my ideas have a meaning behind them so I'm going to start with the meaning then the plan.


One of the big things Sheaves for Christ does is buy vehicles for all of our missionaries so it's easier for them to travel through the field spreading the Gospel. If we don't give to Sheaves for Christ then our missionaries could end up walking many, many miles to church to spread God's word. So as, Lord willing, a future missionary I realized I could end up walking many miles to spread the gospel if the next generation doesn't give to Sheaves for Christ, and how could I expect them to give if I didn't?


Now I don't have a lot of money to give but I'm willing to do something crazy if you all will give me money to give to SFC. I am a girl. I love high heels. I don't go to church without them. So if I don't have an SFC vehicle when I'm on the field I'll be walking in heels. So in fear of doing that when I'm old I'm going to do that now. On August 13th I'm going to walk a walk for Sheaves for Christ, in heels. Here's the catch. It's up to y'all how much I walk. Instead of telling you I'm going to walk 5 miles and letting you give as little or as much as you like, I'm going to let you determine how much I walk with your giving. The more you give, the further I walk. I will be walking on a 1/8 mile track so I'm going to walk 1 lap per 1 dollar raised. That's $8 a mile, not bad for you, awful for me, but worth it for God.


Why would I do that? Because 1 lost soul is 2 many. SFC vehicles enable the gospel to be spread much more effectively. Help me raise money for that!! You give me the money and I'll walk, because to walk in heels you have to be the real mccoy and that's what I want to be for God.
