I am currently the Logistics Coordinator for MCYM/Club Beyond Europe (my missions agency is Young Life, just to be confusing). :0) I have traveled to many parts of this world, but I'm not as well-traveled as I would like to be some day. I have had more jobs than I can count, and my list of interests grows everyday. I take seriously Paul's urging to be "all things to all people". Mostly, I am interested in being a friend to all the folks I have been blessed to meet, because I am discovering (slowly) that it is not all about me.

Matching Donation - Double Your Investment in Military Teens

Dear Friends and Family,

August 21st, I got the amazing news that a donor is offering a matching fund  for one-time, annual, and monthly gifts  started between now and October 1st, up to the $25,000 match amount!  Amazing!

Here's how this works:  The matching donation is for $25,000.  Basically a one-time gift will double.  For example,  a $500 one time gift matched would equal $1,000.

Any new annual donor that will make a three year pledge will triple in size, meaning a yearly $500 donor for the next three years is $1,500 plus the match of $1,500 giving a total of $3,000.  Or if a monthly donor commits to $50 a month that is $600 a year or $1800 over a three year period plus the matching gift of $1800 equaling $3600.  This makes it possible to sustain this support over the five year commitment I've made to MCYM, not just for one year at a time, if that makes sense. 


If you are already a partner, thank you! I could not have gotten this close without you!  These matching funds would not add to gifts already pledged, but they would apply to any new gifts or additional amounts you might add to a pledge.  

Currently, I'm approximately 86%  funded or 14%; away from getting to work serving military teenagers in Germany.  1% of my budget = $40.00 a month, to give you a better idea of the need.  Please see the post below this one for complete info and instructions (or click on the word "instructions" in this sentence) on how you might partner financially to this ministry on my team. 

I'd love to come talk to you personally, over the phone, or by Skype - in fact, I really do LOVE talking about this ministry I'll be doing and the kids it serves so well.  I may not have your phone number, or I may be just chicken to call because it's been so long since I've seen you. 

Please call or email me, if you feel you would like to hear from me, or if you know of anyone who might feel called to partner with me.  Here's my info:  970-281-9696 or jennifer.maslyn@gmail.com 

I'd like to be fully funded by the beginning of September and over in Germany by the beginning of October. (It takes some time to get everything situated with shipping, flying, saying "see you laters", etc.)  

Thank you for reading and for praying with me!

God's Grace and Peace be with you, 
Jenn
