Monday, October 3rd, 2005The Mustard Seed Foundation stepped up to help fill our short-term cash flow issues by accelerating the final payment on their three-year grant to Generation Xcel last week. We received the check this morning, which gives us 6-8 weeks to breathe before the next miracle. Thank you, Brian, both for the check and the encouragement! [...]
We need a miracle
Tuesday, September 27th, 2005One of the purposes for traveling this week is because Generation Xcel (and by extention, my family) needs another financial miracle before Friday.

Above and beyond
Tuesday, August 23rd, 2005Ramon went above and beyond the call of duty last week, not only assisting with Chain Reaction, but leaving behind a piece of himself in a mural he painted for Generation Xcel. Thanks again for who you are, how you serve, and sharing your life with us!
Thanks, Ramon and Abby
Tuesday, August 16th, 2005Two more heros in my book (for whatever that’s worth) are Ramon and Abby Trevino. They’re youth pastors in York, PA, who’ve been involved with Chain Reaction there the last two years. They planned to come to New York this year and arrived as promised Sunday night ready to flex following Caleb’s tragedy (and the [...]
