Last Sunday we showed a video of me FINALLY making good on my promise that I would jump into a freezing cold lake in my bathing suit if we hit our goal for last year's Christmas Giving Challenge. Everyone got a good laugh watching me freeze my tail off in the snow ;) (you can see the original video here).
But after posting the video online, a national TV/internet news organization found it and called me up saying they wanted to do a story on it! Within a couple hours they had interviewed me via Skype and ran the story the next day (it aired on channel 7 here in the Seattle area on Wednesday morning).
Here's the story on their website: www.rightthisminute.com/story/pastor-dave-jumps-freezing-lake.
I think the point was to still get some laughs in at my expense, but at least I got a quote in there about the amazing work our partners at Vine Maple Place do for homeless parents and their children!
And btw - this year's Giving Challenge is now on! Our goal is $15,000 and all give funds will go towards the work of Vine Maple Place. Learn how to donate to the challenge here. Let's give big this year and make a significant difference in the lives of those in desperate need.
-Pastor Dave
