Here’s the deal, folks: THE CHALLENGE to ME:
It sleeted heavily in northern Arkansas last night and the hill leading from my house to the road is a sheet of ice with a little powder on top. My 4WD vehicle is 90 miles away and my car has a flat, and with the ‘donut’ on it, it would be stuck at home until Thursday—i.e., AFTER Ash Wednesday—so, I *have to carry* the flat up the quarter-mile of icy hill and down to the road, then get my daughter’s 2WD vehicle to climb the next ice-covered hill out of our valley to take the tire to town to be replaced. THE CHALLENGE to YOU: Since there’s every possibility I’ll have a heart attack trying to do this, I’m challenging you to make a donation to The Augustana Ministerium via PayPal; if I die, your donations will pay mileage to the pastor who preaches for my funeral (TAM Dean of Missions Heiser), and other ‘final expenses’. If I do NOT die, your gift will go to pay for operating expenses for the ONLY group that has given NEARLY $200,000.00 to the direct support of Confessional Lutheran pastors, The Augustana Ministerium. HOW TO DO IT: Go to your PayPal account and send a donation to: [email protected] with a note that explains the gift, such as “Heart Attack Challenge,” “Please tell me Stefanski IS dead,” or the like. I’m hitting ‘send’ and heading out to the ice-covered hill, so my death may well be imminent; SO GET YOUR DONATION IN *NOW*! PLEASE NOTE: You can also give by sending a check, but it might not make it in time to be mentioned at my funeral. Make checks payable to: The Augustana Ministerium c/o The Rev. Gregory J.
