Hi Friends,
Here are some of the supplies we need and my estimated cost:
Soccer Balls - we are hoping to take over about 20 - est. cost: $120.
Picture Frame Craft Supplies - we want to take over materials to make picture frames and then print out pictures of the kids from our first meeting with them and give them to them for their frames - est. cost: $100.
Crayons and Coloring Pages - kids love to color - est. cost: $70.
Notebooks - for our team members to write in as they go through reflection excercises: est. cost: $85
Toilet Paper - little toilet paper rolls for everyone on the team - est. cost: $35
Snacks - we would like to bring snacks with us that won't melt, but that we can eat as we travel and work - est cost: $125.
That's probably a good start for now.
Blessings to you! And thanks for considering!

4/19 Fundraising Update!
Hi Friends!!
As of today we have raised... with your help and God's provision.... about $35,600!!!!!!!!!!! This is 82% of our goal!!! AMAZING!
Thanks be to God for his faithfulness! And thank you for your obedience to help!
We only have a little bit more to raise (about $8,000).
To do this, we are still receiving donations (through may 1st), we are selling t-shirts and collecting coins.
If you are interested in making a donation to the team in general, please email me and I will explain how (just comment on this note and leave your email and I'll write back to you privately).
Additionally, at this point we are giving away free t-shirts for any donation of $15 or more. Of your $15 donation, $10 will go toward the trip and $5 will cover the cost of the t-shirt. Please make your checks payable to "Tiffani Riggers" (we will give one check to Baylor). If you live outside the Waco area, we may have to take $1-2 shipping out of your donation, so please consider that as you make out your check. Contact me (by leaving a comment) for more information about how to get a shirt, or contact the person you know on the Kenya Gen Min team. We anticipate raising between $1000 and $2000 with this effort - but we need your help!
Finally, we started collecting our "Koins for Kenya" cans and rolling the coins this week. So far we have rolled about $350 in change and are expecting to collect about $1,800 from this effort. Thank you so much for your donations! If you live in Waco and you still have spare change lying around, please either bring it to the Harris House (let them know its "Koins for Kenya") and they'll get it to us, or give it to your friendly Kenya-bound general ministry team-er. We are so grateful for the generousity of everyone who has tossed us their pennies, nickels, dimes and quarters (and sometimes 50-cent pieces!) - AND their paper money.
We are also getting ready spiritually, as we continue to work on our "I Believe" bible study weekly - learning about God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit as we work through the Apostle's Creed together each Sunday night. Thank you for praying for us - that we will be prepared spiritually and emotionally for this trip.
I will post a second post in just a few minutes with a supply list, in case you want to donate money for specific supplies.
Thanks for your continued support of us!
Blessings! Tiffani, Marquette and the team!

4/11 Fundraising Update
Hello friends and family!
As of today (4/11) we have raised: $30,769. WOO HOOO! This is 71% of our goal and we have not started selling t-shirts or added up our coin totals yet! WOW!
We are so grateful to God for his provision of these funds. And we're grateful for your prayers and donations!
Later this week (or early next) I hope to post a list of supplies that we could use!
Blessings, Tiffani

Fundraising Update 4/4/07
Hello friends!
As of 4/3/07, we are at about $29,000 total. We are approximately $15,000 from our goal (or 66% of the way completed).
We have 4 weeks left to fundraise. Baylor says that all monies must be in by May 1st for us to travel.
That means we still need to raise about $1,000 for every person on the team. Your prayers for us to see God's provision are greatly appreciated. And if the Lord should move you to be a part of the solution, we are grateful for your obedience!
Blessings to you!
