Memo 415 was a little longer than usual, so I thought I would put the add-ons in a separate post, especially since one of the items is so important.
1. LAST DAY TO GIVE TO THE REVELATION PROJECT! Today is the deadline for the matching grant! As I wrote on August 1, I had a major breakthrough in my attempt to publish my Revelation studies. A donor made a matching grant challenge for the month of August, promising to match every dollar donated with another dollar of his own. Last week about $150 came in, so that means we have $1,000 of the $4,000 needed to publish. But today, August 31, is the last day for the grant, so you must act fast to help me make what I am calling The Revelation Project a reality.
Every dollar you give will be doubled, so when you give, you are exercising good stewardship. What's more, you will be part of publishing and distributing this work that will help reclaim Revelation as a rich devotional book of victory and worship! You can make a contribution this month by going directly to my website to contribute there through PayPal, or by sending a tax-deductible check to PurposeQuest, PO Box 91099, Pittsburgh, PA 15221. Please make sure you mark your donation for Revelation and don't forget that every dollar you give is actually two, but the offer ends today!
2. THE SOPHIA FUND UPDATE: Two weeks ago, I posted a new report from Kenya concerning The Sophia Fund. You can read it here. About $200 came in last week for The Sophia Fund, and I am always blessed when people and readers respond. I am heading to Africa in late September and will check on the status of our donations then to make sure all is going well. As you know by now, I am using the money to feed AIDS orphans and widows in Kenya and Zimbabwe. You can also read about my rationale for The Fund here (named after my late mother). Even though I am raising money for my Revelation Project, I will not neglect The Sophia Fund. The orphans and widows need our help now more than ever.
Please consider a contribution of at least $5 toward the fund and hopefully more. You can use the "Chipin" widget on the Monday Memo site to contribute, or go directly to my website to contribute there through PayPal, or send a tax-deductible check to PurposeQuest, PO Box 91099, Pittsburgh, PA 15221. Make sure you let me know it is for The Sophia Fund. Don't delay; give today and make a difference in the world.
3. DAILY PROVERB: I am now posting a short daily devotional focusing on one verse every day on my blog site. If you would like to read it or subscribe to receive it, just go to my site and register there. I promise to have it updated every day.
4. FACEBOOK: My goal is to have 1,000 Facebook friends on FB by 12/31. Right now I have 575. I update my status on Facebook (you can find me by searching my email, [email protected]) every morning to include a daily verse from Proverbs and an inspirational quote. I do the same on Twitter @johnstanko. Go there to sign up and follow along.
5. FREE PURPOSEQUEST ASSESSMENT: I updated and improved the feedback email you receive from your online assessment, so now is a great time to take or re-take the purpose assessment on my website. This is not a scientific survey, but something that is meant to stimulate your thought and direct your study concerning where you are in your PurposeQuest.
