Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow

Gday all,

Some people may have heard this already, but I’m prepared to lose my hair to get people to 2009’s National Christian Youth Convention (www.ncyc.org.au).

I’m really keen to see this raise at least $2500 (which is only 25 people donating $100) so I can hand over a lot of money to people who would desperately love to make it to 2009’s NCYC.

The plan is to give half of the money raised to NCYC in order for them to distribute to indigenous delegates, so it’s not all about us sending our own young people, it’s about us giving others the chance to go as well.

The National Christian Youth Convention is an event of the Uniting Church in Australia that gathers young people from all over the country to celebrate and study, to meet new friends and to broaden their vision of God’s calling on their lives and the world.  This year’s gig has Shane Claiborne speaking ( http://www.thesimpleway.org/shane/ - he has long hair too!) who’s voice I believe could certainly shake our foundations a bit, and I’d love to see many others making their way to Melbourne to participate and live in the community of NCYC and hearing his voice.

So, I’m shaving my head, and I’m asking for donations to go towards the shaving….

If you’re interested in donating we’d love to hear from you, AND we’d love it even more if you would seek out others who may be keen on donating money to the cause…
