David's Tent DC Fall Fundraiser 2019
A big “Thank You” is due to those who have financially been keeping David’s Tent standing in the gap over the years! In the midst of billions being given for the election of human candidates to office in DC, my heart feels lighter, encouraged by those that have the conviction, wisdom, and faith to invest finances into enthroning the Lord Jesus. (Psalms 22:3). Taking a moment to think about that just made me sit up a little more straight in my chair!
Would you please help us again grow the tent through this next winter? This fall we need a $32k booster for floors, walls, and winter operating costs (extra generator fuel and maintenance).
God has been gathering his people at David’s Tent. There has been a refreshing, and timely, uptick of participation in comparison to previous years.
In order to accommodate larger crowd swells at different times, we are planning to keep the tent a larger size than previous winters. This will require us to have opening/closing inside partitions, heating only the portion that’s actually needed at that time. We need to purchase these partitions, along with some new side walls.
Also, I’ve put this off far too long, but we’ve only had flooring for a portion of the tent. In the rest of the tent, chairs just sit on the baseball-infield-type gravel. This gravel transforms into a sloppy muddy mess when it rains. In order to floor the whole tent and make a path from the sidewalk to tent we need to purchase a significant amount of (sadly) expensive NPS approved flooring as well. This will allow us to go from car to tent without sloshing through the mud during the winter/spring buffet of snow, sleet, and rain. Wouldn’t it be great for the professionals of DC to be able to come to meet with Jesus without getting their shoes dirty?
Adding some for increased heating and generator maintenance operating costs for the winter, we landed on a goal of $32k to grow the tent a little bit more into 2020!
Our goal would be to see this come in by Oct 20. Would you please help us prepare for another winter at David’s (expanding) Igloo?
Gratefully,
Jason Hershey
