It seemed like an easy way to raise money for our up coming mission trip.
It was both symbolic and practical- very "Sell everything you own and follow me..." and an excellent way to turn unnecessary stuff into funding. Yard sale.
Step one: Trick unsuspecting friends into agreeing to host said yardsale at their perfectly located home
Step two: Gather aforementioned "stuff" to sell
Step three: Pretend to have a plan concerning pricing and presentation
Step four: Expend all energy sorting and setting out "stuff"
Step five: Rely on caffeine to power the actual 10 hour long extravaganza
Step six: Use sheer grit to get through the clean-up/ tear-down
Step seven: Thank God for turning the seemingly disastrous event into a monumental success
Step eight: Beg forgiveness from perfectly-located, unsuspecting friends
Step nine: Vow to never, ever do anything like this again
Yardsale. We raised $500 to put towards our mission in the Dominican Republic. I'm sending a HUGE thank you out to every person who volunteered his or her time, energy, money, and stuff. We could not have done this without you.
