The Quick and Simple Version:

I’ve agreed to participate in this event:  Bowlfest 2010 and I need sponsors.

The more detailed plea/explanation:

Some of you know my story.  You’ve read about my former career ruining lives.  You’ve likely read about some of the intense anger and bitterness I held towards Christians, and you’ve heard how much of that anger was removed over the course of four years by a missionary group calling themselves XXXChurch.com.  If you’d like to hear more about some of the things God has done in my life feel free to watch this video of me speaking at Mercy’s Cross church in Sherwood, Arkansas.

XXXChurch.com is part of Fireproof Ministries.  Fireproof Ministries also includes Strip Church:  Sin City’s Little Church House in Las Vegas, Nevada (click those links to learn more about it) and is financially supported by contributions from people like you, speaking fees and fundraisers.  This coming April I’ll be involved in Bowlfest, one of those fundraisers.  We’ll be bowling 100 frames, and I’ve already sponsored myself for $1 per frame.

XXXChurch asks each participant to have a goal of $25 per frame.  That’s all fine and dandy, but I have a lot of pride, and would like to blow all other participants out of the water.   In other words, I’d really like to raise more money than anybody else, and I need your help to do so.

If you’re interested in sponsoring me for this event please comment in this thread (your email address won’t publicly show, but I’ll have it) or email me directly,  donny@donnypauling.com, to let me know how much per frame you’re willing to sponsor.  Please keep in mind that there are 100 frames, so multiply by 100, or decide the total amount you’d like to give and divide by 100.  I realize you probably already figured that out but thought I’d bring it up anyway for my own peace of mind. 

You can also donate online via PayPal on this page – click here.

If your church would like to sponsor me I’ll definitely not turn them down!    Thanks so much for your help!
