Benefit Dinner Recap & Exciting 2013 News!

Hey everyone!

Been a couple of months since our last update... but so much has been happening.

We had our annual benefit dinner a couple of weeks ago on April 27^th. Agape Dance Group from UC Davis did a beautiful routine and we got to see the heart of Rapper Mickey Cho. 

The biggest thing about the night was we were able to share to heart and vision behind the new Children’s Home we are planning to open in 2014. Not all the accounting is done, but it looks like we were able to raise about $15,000 from the evening that will go towards the Children’s Home. Praise the Lord! We are aiming to raise about $50,000 this year for initial opening costs and about $1000 in monthly support to maintain the Children’s Home. If God has prompted you to partner with us in this please contact us at info@reactsministries.org

I’m also excited to announce our next fundraising event for the Children’s Home will be our 1^st ever Mudder-thon!

If you haven’t heard of Tough Mudder, it’s a grueling 13 mile obstacle course, with about 20 obstacles.  This is something I participated in last year and had a lot of fun doing it.  It got me thinking, why not turn this into an event.  So…if you’re up for the challenge…join us.

Contact me at clifton.jang@reactsministries.org.

It will be an awesome time of fellowshipping as well as an opportunity to get others involved by having them sponsor you to raise money for the Children’s Home.

Currently we have 5 people signed up!

The last thing I wanted to announce is we are sending out a Mission team in July this year.  I won’t talk too much about it, as we’ll save that for future posts. 

But the team will be going to Thailand and Cambodia from July 13-28^th.  

It’s never too early to start praying for the team! 

Thanks for reading!

New Year, New Start

Hey everyone!
First off, I wanted to apologize. I know we haven’t been able to upkeep the blog as
often as we would like. So….one thing we want to do this year in 2013 (I know it’s February 28th already) is update much more frequently.

So much has been going on, I don’t even know where to start! We have a bunch of exciting stuff to
announce pretty soon, so I guess I’ll start there. Our 3rd annual re:ACTS benefit dinner will be on April
28th, 2013. It’ll be at the same venue as last year. Wow, 3rd year! I love these dinners because it gives us a chance to share how God was able to use all of us together during the past year for His glory. It also gives us an opportunity to share our vision with those haven’t heard it before. We also get to update everyone on the coming things for the year… not to mention to just coming together and enjoying a great meal together.

On another note, a couple of weeks ago something happened in San Francisco that greatly affected me. Yes, the 49ers lost the Super Bowl. And I took it quite hard. I wasn’t able to eat. I’d lie awake not being able to sleep, just replaying the game over and over in my mind. Everyone I came across, I HAD to talk about the game. It totally consumed me.

So here I am now, sitting… a little embarrassed that a game called football can affect me this much. :P But it also caused me to stop and think… am I not able to sleep after I learn of a child not having food or water. Or worse yet, not knowing Christ. When I come across people, why don’t I just blurt out how great Christ is cuz I just HAVE to say it? I want to be consumed by Christ, but sometimes am consumed by the world. I know I’m a work in progress, but sometimes wish I was a little further along.

So happy news… or Chinese New Years y'all! Here’s to 2013 and to God continuing His work in our hearts and all over the world! God bless you all!
