66% still to go….
A month ago, I posted a blog about the fact that we had raised 16% of our target fundraising goal for Tim’s Big Jump in just 1 month. So since we launched the endeavour to raise money for the work we do at Llandudno Youth for Christ, by sponsoring Tim Gough as he undertakes an extreme feat of jumping into the air, connected by a bungee cord to a platform. Tim will travel 400ft in just over 5 seconds and reach the staggering speed of 90 miles per hour!
When everyone heard of this plan; the support was staggering! We raised £824.40 in just 1 month and reached 16% of our target.
Now 1 month later I felt I needed to update everyone on where we were at; and also to yet again say a massive thank you to everyone who has sponsored Tim’s jump so far.
Today (as I write this blog post); the 27th of March, we have raised so far £1,677.00; which amounts to 34% of our target amount of £5,000.
We have 4 months left to raise the remaining 66% towards our target goal. That’s 122 days to raise £3,323!
This might seem like a large amount at first glance; but as the angel Gabriel encouraged Mary; “For nothing will be impossible with God.” – Luke 1:37.
We believe in the mission God has given us here at Llandudno Youth for Christ; to relevantly share the gospel with young people in Llandudno and beyond. To ‘make disciples of all nations‘; and help turn a generation back to God. Tim believes so much in seeing young people come to a saving knowledge of and relationship with Jesus; that he is willing to jump over 400ft from a crane; attached only by an elasticated cord; all to raise awareness and much needed funds for the mission work that we do.
If you believe in what we are doing; and believe that God is calling you to partner with us in seeing many young lives transformed by God’s love; then please consider sponsoring Tim via our ‘Give.net‘ webpage; or the ‘Tim’s Big Jump’ webpage.
You can also encourage friends and family to consider sponsoring Tim’s jump; and if we all work together in this; like Nehemiah and the people in Jerusalem; we will see the job done – Together!
Also please consider faithfully supporting us in prayer. We have a regular prayer meeting on the last Sunday evening of the month; the next one being on Sunday 30th April at 7pm at Ty Llywelyn Community Centre.
Thank you and be blessed!
