The beard auction was a success!

My squad raised $229 and another one of my supporters matched the amount, making a total of $458 going to help Ukrainians in need! I got a lot of weird looks with my goofy looking facial hair, but it was worth it to raise a little money for a good cause :)

After thinking and praying about it, I am going to give half of the funds to A Jesus Mission. My girlfriend Hannah worked with them in Romania and only had good things to say about the ministry. They are actually driving in supplies directly to areas where fighting is ongoing and many people are trapped with no access to food and other essential supplies. Since they are meeting such an urgent need, I thought it would be wise to direct some of the money there.
