Inspiration for 10/01/2012

By David Visser

Inspiration for today

So on the way home today, I stop along the Whitby Bays, sit on a bench, enjoy the views and savour the twisty ride along Whitby bays just completed. I sit and pray for my Brother and inspiration for this project, for God to show himself to me, and read the Bible, because my faith is weak at the be...st of times. I randomly open to Romans 5, and read about Peace and Hope :-) A reminder of the peace we have with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. A reminder that we can ‘glory’ in our sufferings since it is meant to produce perseverance, and subsequently character, and therefore HOPE. This is basically describing my Brother, who gives us hope through the perseverance and character he displays through His strength. I arrive home to an excited Ingrid who tells me to check the givealittle website. Someone (Bless you) who remains anonymous, donated $1000 today, with the only words “Be still and know they I am God. He provides…” Some might call this a coincidence, I don’t :-)

Thanks to Tony Hunt and Allan Mills

Thanks again to Tony Hunt and a good friend of his, Allan Mills for raffling off the lamb mentioned earlier. Allan raffled the lamb at Steel and Tube. Fantastic effort guys. The $200 raised for this good cause is much appreciated. May you be Blessed. Cheers from David, my Bother Wilf and his Family

Sacrifice of 2 lambs

By David Visser

Tony Hunt, who's doing the whole ride with me, donated the 2 lambs for the love of my Brother, and were raffled off. I raffled 1 at my workplace, and the other was raffled by Allan Mills at Steel @ Tube. Each whole lamb was raffled for $200 and the winner at Steel and Tube was announced on Thursday 15-12. I announced the winner at my workplace on Friday 16 Dec 11. Here's the thing, I've only met Tony twice and haven't even met Allan, yet they have just chipped in and helped with this project. Thank you guys for helping me make a difference, it's a humbling experience. I know I can speak for my Brother here, we really appreciate your care and support. Tony, I'm looking forward to the ride across New Zealand in Feb 2012.

Thanks for you support

By David Visser

Hi Everyone
After discussing how donations are distributed with the Motor Neurone Disease Association, Wellington Branch, I learned that donations are mostly distributed as they are received, particularly if circumstances are such that funding is needed now, rather than later when a project ends.
I also learned that I could ‘tag’ donations to specific needs within the MNDNZ Association.
With these guiding thoughts in mind, I made a decision to pass through to my brother, 65% of the donations received to date and 30% to MNDNZ (Wellington branch), as I originally committed to do.
What this means in terms of $’s, is that I’ve had the awesome responsibility and privilege of transferring $1000.00 (30%), specifically ‘tagged’ for Wellington based field worker costs.
I’ve also transferred $2,170.00 to by Brother and his family who are putting these $’s to good use in providing for his care. Thank you for your support to date, it’s been both awesome and inspiring. I’m really looking forward to this project, “For the love of my Brother, Wilf”, taking off in January and February of 2012.
