Better late than never, I say. It's a good thing keeping up on here isn't part of my job responsibilities!
So, the Art Auction was amazing – successful financially as well as helped us spread the word about the kids in Ghana to many new faces. We keep saying this, but it keeps ringing true: God continues to show up in the work of Mercy Project.
About 160 people attended the event. We auctioned off 10 large paintings and several silent auction items, helping bring our grand total for the evening to around $20,000. Fantastic! We enjoyed having the extra space at Briarcrest Country Club and really enjoyed the ease of set-up on Saturday afternoon, thanks to several great helpers. One of the best parts of the evening was being able to premiere a video made by the talented Brandon Jones that included footage from Lake Volta and the villages where we are working. It's really powerful to be able to show our supporters what the in-country work actually looks like. We were so blessed to have that!
Overall, such a rewarding evening. We are supported and encouraged by so many people near and far, and so very grateful for the chance to share and celebrate what the Lord is doing in our lives.
