We are all in this together

Probably, if you are reading this blog, you have already heard about the great website, www.sendthemforhim.com. It is what I call "passive fundraising." And, I think it is a great way for people to partner with Deb and me, as we work in Cambodia.

This is how the website describes themselves,

Purchases made from merchants linked through this webpage

will generate a donation to Paul Pinckley. Simply choose a merchant

from the categories, link to the merchant website and shop as usual.

It is great because it doesn't cost extra to shop through this site, and you help by spending what you would spend anyway!

Students can buy textbooks. Families can take care of the last summer vacay fling. Husbands can put off those little DIY jobs, while they wait on delivery of the new faucet, oven heating element, etc.

So far, after 16 purchases by family and friends, we have raised about $60. Obviously, this won't provide all of the support we need, but it does make a difference. I know some of our incoming business school students will be using the site to buy books. Hey, that can be a big ticket item!! We bought our air tickets to Cambodia through CheapO Air. We saved money and made money at the same time -- I hope that won't affect the space-time continuum. I even bought tickets for the UT-Montana football game.

The site is simple. They explain everything. Just go to http://www.sendthemforhim.com/files/Groups/Pinckley/categories.html and make your purchases. The merchants will share the profits!

Our work in Cambodia is not just the two of us. It is a joint venture. Of course, God is directing the action. BUT, all of our friends and family are co-workers. We are dependent on your help -- in prayer, sharing what we are doing with others, and financially. We need your partnership wherever you can provide it.

This blog is one way that we will let you know how our work is coming along. I hope you are excited about the work you are a part of!!

See you on the river.
