This from our Director of Student Ministries:

Tyson Hendrickson is one of the greatest kids I’ve ever worked with. Over the past decade we have stayed in touch as he has been living and working in the San Francisco area. Recently he left his .com position to start his own firm. He wanted his first effort to be more than a website based business, he also wanted to use it for something of which God would approve. He has started a new website. Basically the aim is this

1) Help people use discount coupon codes (those things you always see at the bottom when you order something online. 20% off, free shipping, etc.) when ordering things online.

2) At the same time you provide funding to 3^rd world entrepreneurs. Giving small loans to people to start their own businesses in order to escape the cycle of poverty. This is not charity but low or no interest loans that hopefully get paid back so that they money can be used again and again.

Please check it out. The site only came online today. So any suggestions to how to make it better are welcomed.

Annie Get your Gun is 25 days away from opening. If you’re in the Houston area you don’t want to miss out. Alicia and I have a group of over 30 people coming to the Hobby Center on Saturday, June 21. We spent 7 hours rehearsing yesterday afternoon and evening. I think this is going to be a great show.

JDRF HOUSTON held the annual Gala Fundraiser on Saturday night, in which all four of us volunteered. It was a great evening with over 900 in attendance and 1.2 million raised.
