Very cool blog site

August 27, 2008 | community, faith, purpose

Anne Jackson's new book, Mad Church DiseaseI discovered a new blog today that I love. The author is Anne Jackson, author of Mad Church Disease. I think I liked her immediately just because of the title of her book, but then I read her blog.

Guess what she’s done?

She’s encouraged people to give over $90,000 to change the world. If you ever read my teen blog (Real Teen Faith), you know that this is my heartbeat. Sometimes as believers we point out what we think is wrong with the world, but forget to do something about it, or we wait until we can do something big, forgetting that together we can really make a difference.

Two days ago Anne Jackson asked her readers to give to Compassion Intl’s global food crisis fund. She hoped to raise $400 that day to match a donor’s challenge. So far, over $2,500 has been raised.

I’ve been sitting on a challenge for several days, afraid to ask you or others for help. It seemed too big. It was difficult to ask people to help you in your dream to make a difference. But when I see what one person can do when she teams with her readers, her friends, and strangers who just want to help, it encouraged me.

So, tomorrow we’ll talk. Okay? Cuz I have a dream to place some books in the hands of women who just want a second chance.
