Mission ONE Comedy Night featuring Tim Hawkins — a great success
334 attended; $26,000+ raised for Mission ONE and its ministry partners in Africa and Asia
Mission ONE Comedy Night held on Thursday, April 16th, 2009 at Scottsdale Bible Church was a success. The Lord abundantly blessed. Of the 334 people attending, about 40–50% were introduced to Mission ONE for the first time.
Tim Hawkins was hilarious and it seemed that everyone went home with a light heart and a smile on their face. Plus, people gained a good understanding of who Mission ONE is and what Mission ONE does—partnership with national missionaries in Africa and Asia.
The expenses for the event were underwritten primarily by three key supporters. As a result, proceeds from ticket sales, the auction, and gifts received went 100% toward Mission ONE’s fundraising effort. By God’s grace, the event itself raised over $14,000!
With a matching gift of $12,000, the total raised for Mission ONE and its indigenous ministry partners in Africa and Asia came to more than $26,000. Praise the Lord! |
