Only $3995 to go!

Thanks to Claude – I have now collected my first donation to my Tribecca fund! This really excited me that I am now on my way to NYC.

I have mentioned earlier on this blog about how this summer I have an incredible opportunity to take part in a summer mission project sponsored by Campus Crusade. I will be going with approximately 90 other students from across the country to New York City. A summer spent on a project like this can be invaluable. New York provides an environment for outreach that no other place in the world can offer.

The last US Census revealed that Queens Borough in NYC was the most diverse place on the planet. The college campuses on NYC are no less so. NYC campuses represent students from a variety of ethnic, cultural, and religious backgrounds. In one afternoon I could meet someone from every continent. While in New York I will be exposed to a range of ministry experiences in discipleship and evangelism. This is an amazing opportunity to reach out to this unique urban center that’s been called “The Capital of the World”

Stay tuned and I will let all of yall know how to join my team of ministry partners.

Whose your Daddy?

I have to admit it. JASON EBELING IS MY FATHER.

Well… I take that back. I did not find this out until I found this article about me on the internet.

It says that “The last friend that I contacted was Justin Baysden, also from Richlands, NC, who is majoring in Aerospace Engineering and has known Brad for about six years, ever since Brad’s dad became the pastor at Discovery Church.”

Check out the article here.

This is an excellent example of why it is important to double check journalist sources…

Oh yea! I forgot…

Tomorrow is my Birthday… All of yall don’t get too excited. If you are looking for an gift idea donations of support to my Tribecca fund are VERY welcome. Most of you do not know what Tribecca is, but I will be explaining what that is in the next post.

Vanessa Whitwell…

Last sunday a friend of mine from Fellowship Church passed away due to a brain hemorrhage. Vanessa was an amazing multi-facetted person. I first saw Vanessa singing with Fellowship Church at the Creative Church conference in 2005. Many people from my church got to know Vanessa via her appearances on the In the Zone DVD singing “Kaching!” and her singing at the Christmas Eve Service at the American Airlines Center. I was fortunate enough to have dinner with her and her husband at the C3 conference in 2006. She was so very positive and encouraging. She was genuinely interested in my church, and was such a motivation to take what we were doing to the next level. She was very excited about her transitioning from music over to women’s ministries. Her “Bloom” events were some of the most creative and exciting women’s ministries I have ever seen. My thoughts and prayers are with Ed and everybody at fellowship during this difficult time.

Re-experience Easter!

Just in case you missed Easter Sunday! Now you can catch up on the unfulfilled series, and get ready for Dusty this Sunday!
