Jerky, Jerky EVERYWHERE

The other element of our World Outreach weekend came in the form of a challenge. We handed out envelopes on Sunday morning, 1/27. Those age 16 and over received a red envelope and those K-15 received a yellow envelope.

Red envelopes contained a $50 bill, and yellow - a $20 bill. After sharing briefly on the Parable of the talents, people received the challenge.

1. It's not YOUR money - it's entrusted to you
2. You now have a choice. You can give it back or you can put it to work
3. You have 7 weeks to live out the parable of the talents. Everyone brings back the original amount + the increase - on Easter Sunday morning.
4. The Everything made - above the initial investment - creates the base for the coming year's World Outreach Budget.

Well, since I don' have a lot of other talents and no one pays you to hunt, fish, hike or do a triathlon, I decided to make BEEF JERKY. Late in 2007, I tried to establish a business - Dakota Tender Jerky - but things didn't take off too well.

Now, with the $50 investment, I'm making jerky in order to impact the world for Jesus! There's jerky meat EVERYWHERE in our refrigerator! Soon, people will be enjoying the most delicious and tender jerky they ever tasted.

Any beef jerky fans out there can contact me SOON and place an order:-)
