Just wanted to update our 30,000 Steps initiative.

We challenged NCCers to walk 30,000 steps to raise $30,000 to build an orphanage in Uganda. I really thought it was a big, hairy, audacious goal. In fact, I thought we should do 15,000 steps for $15,000. Just being honest! I thought it was more realistic. O ye of little faith! Fortunately, we have people on our team with more faith than me! Joel Schimdgall, our Pastor of Outreach, held out for a miracle. And the miracle just happened. As of today, we surpassed our $30,000 goal. We’re at $34,125 raised for the orphanage!

Huge thanks to everyone who participated. So amazing to know that we’re changing the course of children’s lives via our investment. A team of 21 NCCers is headed to Uganda to build the orphanage today.

You can follow their adventures via blog.
