Being one of the few men in Humboldt County without facial hair, I am willing to observe "No Shave November", if it will help send a missionary to the mission field.
I have decided not to shave during November, under one condition (this is where your help is needed): I need to receive $500/week for the month, which will be given to Teresa Repair so that she can be deployed as a Foursquare Missionary to Russia. All gifts are tax deductible (see the letter below for instructions), and I will need to know if you have make a donation.
If $2000 comes in right away, I will have to go the full month without shaving.
If I raise less then $500, I will shave after week one. If it is $500 - $999, I will shave after week two. $1000-$1499, I will shave after week three. You get it?
If you think your pastor looks terrible and should shave, you can cancel "No Shave November" with a $2000 donation at any point during the month.
Have fun, and remember, "No Shave November" should only be observed by men.
Here is Teresa's letter:
I have accepted a position as a Foursquare Missions International (FMI) missionary to Russia and plan on leaving sometime this winter. I will be working with another missionary family and my main duties will be taking care of their children: Kaela, Connor, and Caeden. I will be helping them with school, as well as being their primary care provider while their parents travel all across Russia. By taking care of these kids, I am allowing Kim and Steve to go out and build leaders up, grow churches, and fulfill God’s desire to see this nation thrive. I get the unique opportunity to love these kids and help provide a way to fulfill God’s vision in Russia. I will also get the opportunity to build relationships with Russians who are my age and be completely immersed in their culture. I will be living alongside these Russian young adults and reaching out to Russia with them.
This journey to Russia does not come without cost, and I am completely self-supported as a missionary for FMI, as you know. I need to fundraise a significant amount of money – a large sum for travel, visas, and initial living costs, plus $2,300 per month. Since the fall of communism, inflation has plagued the residents of Russia. I am working on fundraising opportunities within the church and I am saving all the money I earn as I work; but I am in immediate need for monthly supporters. Would you please consider joining my team financially and prayerfully as I take this journey? The most direct way to give funds is to write a check payable to Faith Center Church at 1032 Bay Street, Eureka, CA 95503 designated for Teresa Repair OR online through the Foursquare website at www.give.foursquare.org/teresarepair. ( If you are planning on signing up for monthly support, or giving a one-time donation, please be sure to input our church code when asked: 30596).
