$30,000... in 18 hours / Eternal Impact

Jon Acuff, a funny but average guy (except he has a blog following of 70,000 – 95,000 per month) has decided to not drum up money to be able to quit his day job at autotrader.com, but leverage his network to build two kindergarten buildings in Vietnam.

The $60,000 project started out as a goal to raise $30,000 by December, to build one kindergarten, but to his surprise the goal was accomplished in 18 hours. So Jon figured he would stretch his network for two.

There are few things that make me more excited than to watch a person use their gifts to make eternal impact.

Here is a link to why Jon’s building two:
